Abstract

A general description, some details of mechanical design and construction, and performance (including angle of attack of the rolling last stage) of a four-stage solid-propellant rocket system used in the RAM (Radio Attenuation Measurement) Al flight test are presented. The fourth stage attained a maximum velocity of 17,800 feet per second at an altitude of 175,000 feet. Temperature data on the nose cone are also discussed.
