Passive Cone Angle Amplifier for Sounding Rockets

A passive mechanical device for slowly expanding the yaw cone of a spinning sounding rocket is described in mathematical detail. The equations of motion for the system are solved and approximations useful for design are developed. The device has been used for sky scanning in the infrared and results...

Zusammenfassung:A passive mechanical device for slowly expanding the yaw cone of a spinning sounding rocket is described in mathematical detail. The equations of motion for the system are solved and approximations useful for design are developed. The device has been used for sky scanning in the infrared and results of a test flight are presented.
