		The rocket sled is a rocket test bed designed to measure engine performance and check out all rocket functions from engine ignition through to parachute ejection.
		At the end of its run, the sled is captured by a bungee cable and held in place until the chute ejection charge blows the parachute out.
		Campers involved in computer engineering often use the rocket sled to develop computer monitor and control systems including computer controlled rocket launching and using sensors placed along the cable to monitor acceleration and engine performance.

	Rocket sled - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rocket sled is a test platform that slides along a set of rails, propelled by rockets.
		The sled was then accelerated according to the experiment's design requirements for data collection along a length of isolated, precisely level and straight test track.
		A speed of Mach 8.5 (6,416 mph) was achieved by a four-stage rocket sled at Holloman Air Force Base on April 30, 2003.

		He was doubtless the craziest member of Team Rocket Car, and if I'd been willing to go along with his idea, I have no doubt he'd have climbed in and lit the fuse himself.
		When Jimmy and I discussed the details of the project, he seemed pretty confident that the thrust from the rocket would be enough to push a four-passenger car at a reasonable speed.

		For most tests the sled is stopped in the water brakes and the seat lands within the confines of the mesa top.
		In these cases the sled itself would likely be destroyed but the free flight tests taught the engineers much about the way the fuselage and cockpit interacted with the seats or capsules.
		Lastly, 17.5 seconds is the time it took for the sled to go from zero airspeed at the breech end of the track and travel over 10,000ft to a stop in the water brake at the muzzle end.

		The goal of the series of tests he was involved in was to increase the speed of the sled with each test to investigate the effect on the human body of high speed and G's.
		As they increased the speed of the sled they had to increase the G's to stop him before he ran off the end of the track (the track is currently 10 miles long but was much shorter when he made his runs).
		During the test the slipper housing that held the sled to the track broke, the sled left the track and unfortunately for the monkey, he was killed.
