Army user test program for the RDT and EXM-75 meteorological rocket
Abstract
The RDT and E XM-75 meteorological rocket was developed as a low-cost sounding system to meet the needs of several government agencies. Costs for the development were shared by the United States and Canada. After extensive development firings, the operational rocket was turned over to the agencies for the user test phase. This report describes results of the Army user program conducted at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, and Poker Flat, Alaska.
