Nuclear fission has been used as a reliable source for utility power in the United States for decades. Even in the 1940’s, long before the United States had a viable space program, the theoretical benefits of nuclear power as applied to space travel were being explored [Humble, et. al.]. These benefits include long-life operation and high performance, particularly in the form of vehicle power d...

Rocket is an important leafy vegetable crop and a good source of antioxidants and anticancer molecules such as glucosinolates and other sulfur compounds. Rocket is also a hyper-accumulator of nitrates which have been considered for long time the main factors that cause gastro-intestinal cancer. In this review, the content of these compounds in rocket tissues and their levels at harvest and duri...

Abstract: This paper investigates the trajectory prediction and dispersion for unguided fin stabilized artillery rocket in order to explain the importance of the rocket production accuracy and the benefit of using guided rockets. The total dispersion results mainly from three effects. The first is the dispersion due to rocket production inaccuracy, which includes propellant mass, composition in...

The number of jet and rocket noise studies has increased in recent years as researchers have sought to better understand aeroacoustic source and radiation characteristics using predominantly linear reconstruction techniques. While jet and rocket noise is often finite-amplitude in nature, little is known about the existence of shock formation and coalescence close to the source. A numerical expe...

Code Rocket is a support tool for software developers which allows them to perform the detailed design of a software system and produce program code simultaneously. It integrates with existing development environments to allow developers to visualize program code during code construction and code maintenance. Code Rocket supports other project stakeholders, including nonprogrammers, by providin...

A quick turnaround Sub-Orbital Student Experiment Module sounding rocket experiment has been designed and built to initiate the Old Dominion University wireless spacecraft bus project for the Mid Atlantic Institute for Space and Technology. The sounding rocket was launched on the 8 of June 2006 from NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. This wireless sounding rocket experime...

Simulation research on the launch process of a ship-borne multiple launch rocket system is studied in this paper. First, the power spectrum density of the ship’s motion is calculated based on ocean wave energy spectrum, and the movement spectrums of the ship’s random motion are calculated. Then, the model of shipborne rocket launcher system is built by virtual prototype technology. The launch p...

Sounding rocket programs for upper atmospheric research (UAR) commenced at Woomera in 1957, with the British Skylark project and the Anglo-Australian HARP rockoon program. Shortly afterwards, the Weapons Research Establishment (WRE) inaugurated its own sounding rocket program with the first successful Australian-built sounding rocket, Long Tom, developed from surplus British motors. This resear...
