Sounding Rocket Program AERONOMY. Project: Energy budget payload E2
Abstract
The identical payloads were equipped with five experiments, an attitude control system and a recovery system for salvage over land. The sounding rocket motors were of the type Skylark 7. The technical function of the payload system was to fulfill three main requirements: the experiments had to be put in the required measuring position, the measuring data had to be transmitted to the ground, the experiment EW11 had to be salvaged in a good condition together with the whole payload. The essential project activities are described from the payload supplier's point of view and the technical payload flight data are summarized. The recovery payloads are analyzed with respect to re-use of them.
