What are some speeds and accelerations experienced by the rocket during its flight?
The speeds and accelerations of the rocket will vary depending on various flight parameters. However, a typical average velocity is 1.0 km/s over the flight. In addition, the vehicle may reach an acceleration of 160m/s2 (~16 g’s) during the burn. • What are the restrictions on the payload mass? The Nike-Orion can carry payloads with a mass of 68kg to 204kg. • How high will our rocket fly? The Nike-Orion can obtain altitudes between 90km and 190km. The rocket will remain airborne for less than 20 minutes. • Describe what happens after the rocket is launched? For approximately 45 seconds the rocket motors will burn their fuel and accelerate the rocket upward. After the fuel has been consumed, the motor separates from the vehicle and falls back to earth. At this time, the payload section has left the earth’s atmosphere and is traveling through space. The booms are deployed and the experiment begins. Instruments start recording data and transmitting it to earth. After the payload re-enters
