High-Altitude Recovery Programme (harp)
Abstract
A system for recovering sounding rocket payloads from water was developed. The combination recovery and flotation system can recover a payload weighing 1000 pounds (453.5 Kg) and float this submerged weight for 24 hr. Drop tests, including tests from aircraft, are satisfactory.
