	Fall99
		The rocket was thrown 50 feet in the air by the force of the cato, trailing fire from the propellant slugs that remained in what was left of the motor.
		This quickly burned a hole in the side of the rocket, causing it to yaw, and the loss of pressure in the case caused the remaining propellant to burn slowly and inefficiently, sputtering all the way.
		The rocket left the pad in a big hurry under the boost of the "Mighty K", and using an Olsen altimeter for onboard intelligence, deployed perfectly at apogee and at 400 feet.

	Aerobee
		Aerobee 150-A, a new type, fired from new launch tower at Wallops Station, reached an altitude of 140 km and achieved rocket performance objectives as well as micrometeorite impact counts.
		The second rocket carried an American Science and Engineering, Inc., payload to a 150-km altitude to obtain high-resolution x-ray pictures of active regions of the Sun during solar flare and general x-ray emission of solar corona.
		The rocket carried a Naval Research Laboratory payload to 187.9-km altitude to record photographically 18 extreme ultraviolet spectra of solar photosphere, chromosphere, and corona, using a flight design verification unit of the high-resolution spectrograph planned for ATM-A and ATM-B. Rocket and instruments performed satisfactorily.

		More significantly, the large weight-carrying capacity of the rocket meant that experimenters did not have to miniaturize and trim their equipment to shoehorn them into a very restricted payload, but could use relatively gross designs and construction.
		In its various versions Aerobee was used continuously in the high-altitude rocket research program through the 1950s and 1960s and was still in use in the mid-1970s.
		Sounding rockets were taken to the California coast, to Florida, to the Virginia coast, out to sea, and to the shores of Hudson's Bay in Canada.

	NASM Space Artifacts: Aerobee Nosecone and NRL Multispectrograph
		Aerobee-type sounding rockets, developed for the Applied Physics Laboratory by Aerojet General (Tousey) and Douglas based upon the WAC Corporal design, were built to carry medium-sized instruments aloft to collect scientific data at the top of the earth's atmosphere.
		Aerobee rocket flights provided the first high quality ultraviolet spectrum of the Lyman alpha line of hydrogen (Goldberg), as well as grazing incidence solar spectra below 500 A. The University of Colorado pointing controls consisted of a set of small photoelectric sun sensors set in a box on the front of the multispectrograph.
		Once the rocket was at altitude, the doors protecting the payload were opened and the sun sensors would search for and then lock onto the sun.

		The Aerobee was designed to carry instruments aloft to collect data on the upper atmosphere and to place small animals in a weightless condition for physiological studies.
		The Aerobee could attain a maximum speed of 4,300 mph and an altitude of 123 miles.
		In one of the earliest U.S. psysiological experiments on the road to manned space flight, on May 22, 1952, two Phillipine monkeys, Patricia and Mike, were enclosed in an Aerobee nose section at Holloman AFB, New Mexico.

		The rocket researchers quickly outgrew their facilities in the outskirts of Berlin and, in 1936, operations were transferred to a remote island of Peenemuende on Germany's Baltic coast.
		It is the ancestor of practically every rocket flown in the world today and, in September of 1944, was launched against England toward London but came too late to affect the outcome of the war.
		By February of 1946 all the German rocket scientist were moved to White Sands, New Mexico and on April 16, 1945 the first of the captured V-2's was launched in the United States.

	Aerobee
		Aerobees were launched for 53 m tall launch towers to provide the necessary stability until enough speed had been gained for the fins to be effective in controlling the rocket.
		The rocket performance stipulated was the delivery of 68 kg (150 lb) of payload to over 91 440 m (300 000 ft) - obviously, the Aerobee would have to be considerably larger than the Wac Corporal.
		However, this large cumbersome rocket was far from the ideal for relatively low-cost sounding rocket, and as early as January 1946 it was planned to create a purpose-built research rocket.

		From 1946 to 1952, upper-atmosphere research was conducted using V-2s and Aerobee rockets.
		Following pressure by the American Rocket Society, the National Science Foundation, and the International Geophysical Year, military interest picked up and in early 1955 the Air Force and Navy were working on Project Orbiter, which involved using a Jupiter C rocket to launch a small satellite called Explorer 1 on January 31, 1958.
		On July 29, 1955, the White House announced that the U.S. intended to launch satellites by the spring of 1958.

		Rockets in the NASA "stable" had to be procured and fired at locations around the world; new rockets had to be developed and old ones improved; and there was continuous negotiation with the experimenters from sister agencies, the universities, and foreign countries.
		Whenever another agency wished to launch a sounding rocket from a foreign country, as was sometimes the case when eclipses occurred, or when a phenomenon was localized (viz, the auroras), NASA acted as their agent in all dealings with the country involved.
		During 1960-1964, Goddard fired 79 rockets from Fort Churchill (not counted as international flights); 4 from the Pacific Missile Range; 5 from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.; and 8 from Ascension Island, which is in the South Atlantic near the end of the Eastern Test Range.

		Rockets carrying these nose cones were launched from the IGY launching site in Fort Churchill.
		Although nose cone casings could be damaged by the rockets' impact on landing, the instruments and film inside them generally were not.
		The trajectory of the rocket was planned to allow parachute recovery close by its launch point.

		The Aerobee-Hi's were born when the Navy and Air Force were approached by Aerojet in 1952 on the subject of an improved Aerobee - a rocket capable of lifting 68 kg (150 lb) to about 240 km (150 ml).
		The rocket design finally selected was therefore much larger than the Aerobees on the drawing boards and understandably bore considerable resemblance to the V-2.
		The APL rockets were given the name "Aerobee" by Van Allen, a combination of the name of the prime contractor, Aerojet, and the name of APL's series of Navy missiles, the Bumblebees.

	Aerobee
		The "Standard Aerobee" rocket is a great looking one and is two-stage, but what really turned me on was the fact that both stages fired at liftoff with the stages remaining together during booster burn.
		The first thing to do with a scale rocket is to pick a scale factor, which determines the size, or pick the size which determines the scale factor.
		The other challenge for properly staging this rocket is to make sure the booster motor fires with enough thrust to lift it, and the upper stage faster than the sustainer motor is lifting just the sustainer.

		In the immediate postwar period (1946), the captured German A-4/V-2 rocket was used in the United States not only for general rocket research, but also for high-altitude scientific experiments.
		However, this large cumbersome rocket was far from the ideal for relatively low-cost sounding rockets, and as early as January 1946 it was planned to create a purpose-built research rocket.
		The last of the variants of the original Aerobee was the Aerobee 150A, which was a 150 with changed internal tank arrangement and four instead of three fins on booster and sustainer.

	From the Sea to the Stars: Chapter 1
		The rocket, which reached an altitude of 67 miles, carried radio transmitters for telemetry transmissions, a spectrograph, pressure and temperature gauges, and a geiger counter telescope to probe for cosmic rays.
		Since the rockets crashed when they returned to earth, the steel cylinders were constructed to withstand extreme conditions.
		The result was the Aerobee rocket, a twenty-foot-long, 1,650 pound liquid-fueled rocket, much smaller than the V-2 and capable of reaching a height of seventy-five miles at speeds of thirty-five thousand miles an hour (far higher and faster than the Army's Wac Corporal, the only other large American rocket in existence at that time.)
