Hi,
can anyone identify this suborbital rocket used for Sandia's "Red Crow" experiment in 1998. I guess it is a Castor with some kind of upper stage. http://www.sandia.gov/locations/ktf/redcrow.jpg " On April 17, 1998, Red Crow was launched from the Kauai Test Facility for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to assess the effectiveness of electronic countermeasures against US Theater Missile Defense systems. Information gathered from this experiment will be instrumental in enhancing US defenses against possible countermeasures employed by adversaries. The Sandia Red Crow team developed the booster system, integrated a payload suite within the launch vehicle, and conducted the launch operation at KTF. " Gunter Krebs http://space.skyrocket.de |
