Flight Center WASP OPIS Different Risk/Mission Assurance Strategy • Payloads are recovered and refurbished. • Re-flights are inexpensive (<$1M for a balloon or sounding rocket vs >$10M - 100M for a ELV) • Instrumentation can be simple and have a large science impact! • Frequent flight opportunities (e.g. “piggyback”) • Development of precursor instrument concepts and mature TRLs • While Suborbital missions fully comply with all Agency Safety policies, the program is designed to take Higher Programmatic Risk – Lower cost – Faster migration of new technology – Smaller more focused efforts, enable Tiger Team/incubator experiences.

  • Sounding Rockets 2017 Annual Report
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Sounding Rockets Annual Report 2017 particle energy measurements. Where once five or six free flying subpayloads were possible, now twenty or more are feasible. Astrophysicists are always wanting to collect more photons to enhance scientific return. This dictates a need for either larger diameter payloads to accommodate larger mirrors, or longer obser- vation times – and usually both. Astrophysics missions have, to a large extent, been limited to flying from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico due to the requirement to recover the instruments for re-flight. Longer flights require higher apogees, which gener- ally dictate the need for ranges with larger impact areas. Larger launch ranges usually require flight over the ocean. The program is developing new water recovery technologies to enable such missions at a cost that is commensurate with the low-cost nature of the program. The new system includes a hydrodynamic wedge to reduce impact loads and sealed sections to protect the science instruments and expensive support systems such as telemetry and attitude control systems. The trick is, each of these systems needs to have some sort of exposure to the outside environment during the scientific data period, yet be sealed when they impact the ocean. While ocean recovery has been done for essentially the entire life of the program, it has involved relatively basic systems that offered few Phil Eberspeaker from the Chief Message engineering challenges. Now telescopes, telemetry systems, attitude Chief, Sounding Rockets Program Office controls systems, and even the recovery systems themselves need to be protected so they can be reflow on future missions.

  • Desind Finding
    NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE ARCHIVES Herbert Stephen Desind Collection Accession No. 1997-0014 NASM 9A00657 National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC Brian D. Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

  • Sounding Rocket - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 4
    Sounding rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 Sounding rocket From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sounding rockets) A sounding rocket, sometimes called a research rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight. The origin of the term comes from nautical vocabulary, where to sound is to throw a weighted line from a ship into the water, to gauge the water's depth. Sounding in the rocket context is equivalent to taking a measurement.[1] The rockets are used to carry instruments from 50 to 1,500 kilometers[2] above the surface of the Earth, the altitude generally between weather balloons and satellites (the maximum altitude for balloons is about 40km and the minimum for satellites is approximately 120km).[3] Certain sounding rockets, such as the Black Brant X and XII, have an apogee between 1,000 and 1,500 kilometers; the maximum apogee of their class. Sounding rockets [1] often use military surplus rocket motors. NASA routinely flies A Black Brant XII being launched the Terrier Mk 70 boosted Improved Orion lofting 270–450 from Wallops Flight Facility. kilogram payloads into the exoatmospheric region between 100 and 200 kilometers.[4] Contents ■ 1 Design ■ 2 Advantages ■ 3 Research applications ■ 4 Operators and Programmes ■ 5 Other Uses ■ 6 See also ■ 7 References ■ 8 External links Design A common sounding rocket consists of a solid-fuel rocket motor and a science payload.[1] The freefall part of the flight is an elliptic trajectory with vertical major axis allowing the payload to appear to hover near its apogee.[3] The average flight time is less than 30 minutes, usually between five and 20 minutes.

  • MORABA Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles
    MORABA Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles Mobile Rocket Base German Aerospace Center Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles 1.1. Introduction The research vehicles offered by MORABA have been used by a wide spectrum of payloads, differing in mass, complexity and transport requirements. In order to serve the needs of any payload and transport requirement, MORABA relies on a large portfolio of rocket motors that it uses in single stage as well as stacked configurations. MORABA constantly strives to enhance the portfolio of active rocket motors in order to improve its transport capacities or replace systems that run out of stock. Although the developments in liquid, gelled and hybrid propulsion are closely followed, the high power density, operational simplicity and safety of solid rocket motors have led to their exclusive use by MORABA so far. A large portion of the active portfolio is formed by motors with military heritage. These motors are conceded to MORABA or its partners from governments that tear down a fraction of their armory. As usually these motors have exceeded their shelf life, inspection and re-lifing efforts become necessary. Many successful missions prove the flight worthiness of these motors which are not least attractive due to their competitive price. The second group of the portfolio is made up by motors available from third parties. Here, MORABA is constantly evaluating potential candidates. A longstanding cooperation with the Brazilian Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA) has led to frequent use of its S31 and S30 rocket motor stages. At current, MORABA is also developing a solid motor stage with Bayern Chemie GmbH and acquiring some units of Magellan’s Black Brant V.
