Missile Configuration
The transmitter carrier-missile system was selected from available com-
ponents in an attempt to meet the primary requirement of lifting a 10-pound
payload to an altitude of approximately 500,000 feet.
The susllest possible
rockets were selected in order to reduce problems of handling and procurement
of metal parts.
System Description,
& combination of Deacon booster and Arrow sustainer
was believed capable of satisfying design requirements.
Somewhat inconsistent
flighs cese data indicated chat this system would reach an altitude of only
about 250,000 feet.
A typical trajectory of the system is shown in Pig. 7.3.
To obtain desired data at higher altitudes, a combination of Viper booster and
Arrow sustainer was tested, with initial indications of a maximum alrircude of
about 500,000 feet.
