810-HB-SRP 2.11 The Mission Close-Out Report (MCR) The MCR fully documents the mission’s success or failure. It includes a detailed assessment of the mission and a cost summary; and officially closes out the process. 27
810-HB-SRP SECTION 3: Sounding Rocket Launch Vehicles and Performance Capabilities A family of standard sounding rocket launch vehicles is available in the NASA Sounding Rocket Program for use in conducting suborbital space science, upper atmosphere, and other special applications research. Some of the vehicles are commercially available; others have been developed by NASA for exclusive use in NASA programs. These vehicles are capable of accommodating a wide variety of payload configurations and providing an extensive performance envelope. 3.1 NASA Mission Designation System NASA sounding rocket launch vehicles are identified by a numbering system. The first two digits of the flight mission number identify the type of launch vehicle used. The remaining three digits indicate the mission number for that particular launch vehicle type. The first and second letters following the digits identify the type of organization sponsoring the mission and the scientific discipline of the experiment, respectively. Table 3.1-1 lists the specific vehicle numbering system as well as the agency and experiment type. Table 3.1-1 also has an example Flight Mission Number. 3.2 NASA Sounding Rockets There are currently eleven operational support launch vehicles in the NASA Sounding Rocket Program. All NASA sounding rocket launch vehicles use solid propellant propulsion systems. Extensive use is made of 20 to 30-year-old military surplus motors in 10 of the systems. All vehicles are unguided except those which use the S-l9 Boost Guidance System. During flight, all launch vehicles are imparted with a spinning motion to reduce potential dispersion of the flight trajectory due to vehicle misalignments. Outline drawings for these thirteen vehicles and their NASA vehicle numbers are presented in Figure 3.2-1 on the following page. 3.2.1 Performance Characteristics Performance characteristics for apogee altitude and weight capability and flight time above 100 kilometers for NASA sounding rocket vehicles are included in Figure 3.2.1-1. This data is presented for a sea level launch using a launch elevation angle of 85 degrees. Appendix F has detailed descriptions and flight performance characteristics for these vehicles. 28
