Two stage rockets, rockets with video cameras on them, on board computers logging their flights, rocket gliders that fly back to Earth.

(vi) Free Flight Rockets

I use RockSim to simulate flights before they go to see if they'll break supersonic or not, and then fly them with on board computers to verify their performance.

The little Orion ship and what it would take to do what Orion does with chemicals you have a ship the size of the Empire State Building.

Launch vehicle H II Rocket Flight 4F (H II, 4F)

Spacecraft and rocket upper stage passivation

Launch vehicle Ariane Rocket Flight 65 (Ariane 44L)

Launch vehicle Ariane Rocket Flight 77 (Ariane 44P)

Launch vehicle Ariane Rocket Flight 83 (Ariane 44P)

It is a two stage vehicle, augmented by a pair of solid rocket boosters (SRBs). It is 4 metres in diameter and 50 metres in height, with a lift off weight of 260 tonnes.

Launch vehicle H II Rocket Test Flight 2F (H II 2F)

Launch vehicle H II Rocket Test Flight 3F (H II 3F)

We are building rockets to reach the moon.

Bird 1 to Base. Separation complete. Confirm acquisition.

This campaign of eight rocket flights formed a significant part of the Space Physics Division apos s 41 rocket flights this fiscal year.

There's a lot of little things involved in making a rocket that it will actually work, even after you have the fuel.

Some rocket fuzes can be fitted with a Graze' function which is a device to cause the fuze to function if it strikes a target at a shallow angle and starts to ricochet.

My son designed a rocket that became stable, a golf ball rocket I thought it was quite an interesting experiment in the principles of rocket science and it flies straight as an arrow.

The satellites were separated from Tsikada on its seventh revolution around the Earth.

Free flight rockets such as disposable anti tank rockets can pose a serious hazard when they become duds.

You would never have a rocket go up while the gantry arms are going out. Can you imagine the tragedy that could possibly happen with that?

Chemical rockets provide too much thrust, too much push. The probe would just shoot away.

(b) Re orbiting of the spacecraft and the upper stages at the end of the mission

If you're in a rocket ship, you can shoot right back at them.

For some missions, the performance of the launch vehicle leaves a sufficient margin of propellant available for the stage to do a de orbit burn.

This mission was the 260th flight of the Long March rocket series.

For some missions, the performance of the launch vehicle has a sufficient margin so that the stage has propellant available to do a de orbit burn.

The design of the carrier rocket is currently being modified in the Russian Federation in order to reduce the number of modules which are separated from the carrier rocket during flight and to have their engine units operate on the main propellant components supplied from the carrier rocket tanks.

Was it the planes or the volcano, the grounded planes or the volcano?

We have landed a rocket ship on an asteroid. It's not a big deal.

The Solid Rocket Booster successfully supported the eight Shuttle flights begun during FY 1994.

And the result of our meeting was a robotic rocket powered airplane we call ARES.

So you see, on the bottom, that rocket was supposed to go upward somehow it ended going sideways.

(a) Passivation of the spacecraft and the upper stages at the end of the mission

He remembered that was a perfectly safe sort of gantry system, perfectly safe rocket launch, because he's sitting in a rocket that has, like, a hundred thousand pounds of thrust, built by the lowest bidder.

The Space Flyer Unit (SFU) launched by an H II rocket in March 1995 was retrieved by the Space Shuttle in January 1996.

Those flights will be used to prove the reliability of PSLV, to increase its payload capability towards operationalization of the vehicle, and to launch satellites for Earth observation and scientific missions.

But at any rate, we finally did have a device that would reproduceably put a frog out of sight and get him back alive.

PLANET B is the first Japanese Mars mission and is scheduled for launch in 1998 by the M V 3 vehicle.

The upper stage is used in conjunction with NASA s space shuttle to place payloads up to 900 kg into geotransfer orbit.

Then, as the rocket dives down, velocity picks up again toward a maximum velocity and the rocket hits the ground.

The capability and characteristics of the H II launch vehicle were verified through those flights.

The first developmental flight of this vehicle is expected to take place in 1997 98.

Rocket

These things would drop down from above all through the weekend of rocket launch after rocket launch after rocket launch.
