Viper-Dart


Part of Viper


American sounding rocket. Single stage sounding rocket that delivered a 1-m diameter inflatable sphere to 90 km to measure winds aloft.

Status: Active. First Launch: 1967-08-05. Last Launch: 1984-02-23. Number: 76 . Height: 3.40 m (11.10 ft). Diameter: 0.11 m (0.36 ft). Apogee: 120 km (70 mi).

The Viper Dart Robin Meteorological Rocket system was developed by the Space Data Corporation of Phoenix, Arizona, to obtain high altitude density and wind data by utilizing the Robin inflatable sphere as a sensing device. The system consisted of a rocket motor, an unpowered dart, and the Robin inflatable sphere. Flights of this system provided density, temperature, pressure and wind data from an altitude of about 90 kilometers to an altitude of approximately 40 kilometers or less. An improved rocket motor and 'C'-band radar tracking aid were under this contract.
