 Mach Angle
As a rocket moves through a gas, the gas molecules are deflected around the rocket.
If the speed of the rocket is much less than the speed of sound of the gas, the density of the gas remains constant and the flow of gas can be described by conserving momentum, and energy in the flow.
From trigonometry, the sine of the cone angle mu is equal to the ratio of a and v:

 Similarity Parameters
As a rocket moves through the atmosphere, the gas molecules of the atmosphere near the rocket are disturbed and move around the rocket.
Aerodynamic forces are generated between the gas and the rocket.
The magnitude of these forces depend on the shape of the rocket, the speed of the rocket, the mass of the gas going by the rocket and on two other important properties of the gas; the viscosity, or stickiness, of the gas and the compressibility, or springiness, of the gas.

 About MU   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Mu is not relative to the fact of existing; it's nothing.
Mu is a sunken continent in the Pacific Ocean.
Mu was as peaceful as many of the islands in the Pacific, the people living an indolent and relatively worryfree life in a warm climate with the abundance that the ocean provides to those living along its coastlines.

 Model Rocketry
The rockets that we are going to build and launch in this lab may not be capable of achieving orbit, or escaping the earth's pull of gravity, but they do operate under the same scientific laws that determine the characteristics of Apollo and the Space Shuttle.
The external forces acting on the rocket include gravity, aerodynamic drag, constraint during takeoff, and the pressure thrust due to the unbalance in the pressure of the exhaust and the ambient pressure of the atmosphere.
The rocket is held on a stationary rod (for guidance during the liftoff phase of flight) and at this point, the initial velocity is essentially zero.

 ISAS M5 Rocket Japan Space NASDA
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the new rocket is that the M-V adopts 'Fire in the Hole' (FIH) technology, in which the second stage is ignited at the same time as the first and second stage separation.
In addition, the third stage rocket motor casing is a lightweight design filament wound casing made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP).
"Each rocket has its own perspective," he said, adding "I think that if the M5 is successful, NASDA will look very carefully at it and consider adopting its fiber casing technology in particular," he said.

The Mu-3S-II was the last of the original Mu variants and had an M-3B upper stage - but it often also carried small kick motors in the KM series to increase the payload's orbital height or perform solar orbit or translunar insertion burns.
The new Mu-V rocket is an entirely new design and has a much larger third stage, the M34, which is even bigger than the Orbus 21 and Star 63.
Britain developed a number of significant solid motors for its sounding rocket program, but only one satellite was ever launched using its Black Arrow rocket, which had a solid motor with the somewhat poetic name of Waxwing.

 Kagoshima Space Center (KNSC)
Established in February 1962, the Kagoshima Space Center (KSC) was constructed on the Pacific coast of Kagoshima Prefecture at Uchinoura for the purpose of launching large rockets with probe payloads.
Prior to establishment of KSC, test launches of the "Pencil Rocket", "Baby Rocket" and "Kappa Rocket" had been performed at the pioneering Akita rocket test facility (Michigawa) from the mid-1950s to the 1960s.
Subsequent improvements in the Mu class rocket enabled scientific satellite launches at a rate of one per year.

 Japan's Hayabusa [MUSES-C] Swings By Earth on Way to Asteroid Itokawa - Planetary News | The Planetary Society
Formerly known as MUSES-C, Hayabusa is scheduled to arrive at Itokawa in June 2005.
It was originally slated to investigate asteroid 1989 ML, but the project's original launch date in July 2002 on an M-5 three-stage solid-fuel rocket was delayed when a similar M-5 rocket failed to deliver Japan's Astro Ex-ray observatory into orbit.
MUSES stands for 'Mu Space Engineering Spacecraft' -- a space engineering spacecraft launched by a Mu rocket -- and 'C' means, in essence, 'the third.' MUSES-A, the first of the series, was called HITEN and was launched by the M-3SII launch vehicle in 1990, targeting technologies such as a swing-by using the Moon's gravity.

 Dorlands Medical Dictionary
a combination of protein electrophoresis and rocket immunoelectrophoresis; protein antigens are separated by agarose gel electrophoresis; then a strip containing the separated antigens is cut out and placed in a trough in a gel containing antiserum, and an electric field perpendicular to the trough is applied, producing a “rocket” precipitin pattern for each antigen.
one-dimensional single electroimmunodiffusion; a technique in which antigen is placed in a row of wells in an agar plate containing antiserum and an electric field perpendicular to the line of wells is applied; this drives the antigen through the gel, forming a spike or “rocket” precipitin pattern trailing away from each well.
The length of the rocket is proportional to the amount of antigen placed in the well.
