Unguided Rocket Impact Dispersion at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Revision.
Abstract
Impact dispersion data are presented for selected unguided sounding rockets launched from White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, and from the Utah Launch Complex at Green River, Utah, during the sic-year period 1970-1976. Although dispersion data from 1965 forward could have been included in this report, the period 1970-1976 was chosen because of the more sophisicated impact prediction and measurement techniques used during this period. A scatter diagram is presented for each rocket showing the area of primary dispersion of each shot around the predicted impact point. Included on each diagram is the standard error of estimate (total and component form) for each rocket type and the number of cases on which the calculations were based.
