Hypervelocity Launcher Design.

Abstract

This report describes the results of an experimental program conducted by Physics International to develop a high-performance light-gas to launch projectiles. With this launcher the flight dynamics of re-entry vehicles could be studied to obtain erosion and ablation data in a cost-effective laboratory environment. (Author)
