Sounding Rocket Flight Ends Prematurely
http://www.nasa.gov/content/wallops/nasa-to-test-suborbital-rocket-technologies/

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va.—The flight of a Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility ended prematurely today at 4:36 a.m. EDT about 19 seconds after its launch.

Range controllers detected a flight anomaly with the second stage Improved Malemute motor; the vehicle flew to an altitude of 27,000 feet and impacted about one nautical mile downrange.

There were no injuries or property damage as the vehicle landed in the established hazard zone in the Atlantic Ocean, which was cleared prior to launch.

A NASA team will investigate the cause of the flight anomaly and more information will be released as it becomes available

Three Terrier-Oriole suborbital "sounding" rockets were successfully launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, located in Virginia on Tuesday Feb. 24, 2015. The flights had been scheduled to take place on Monday, Feb. 23, and were conducted on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD). Those handling the flight had a four hour window in which to get the mission underway opening at 12:30 and closing at 4:30 a.m. EST (0530 and 0930 GMT).

Rocket from Wallops successfully launches student experiments
http://www.wmdt.com/news/more-local-news/Rocket-from-Wallops-successfully-launches-student-experiments/33766814

Jun 25, 2015

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. - NASA officials say at 6 AM Thursday on Wallops Flight Facility, the NASA Terrier-Improved Orion suborbital sounding rocket successfully launched, carrying student experiments with the RockOn and RockSat-C program. More than 200 middle school and university students and instructors reportedly witness the launch as part of Rocket Week at Wallops.

Through RockOn and RockSat-C students are apparently learning and applying skills required to develop experiments for suborbital rocket flight. In addition, middle school educators are reportedly learning about applying rocketry basics in their curriculum through the Wallops Rocket Academy.

The next launch from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility is scheduled between 6 and 10 AM on July 7th, of a Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket.

НАСА запустило ракету для испытания новых технологий освоения космоса
http://tass.ru/kosmos/2099090

ВАШИНГТОН, 7 июля. /ТАСС/. Американские специалисты осуществили сегодня запуск ракеты Black Brant IX ("Блэк Брант-9" ;) , предназначенной для испытания новых технологий освоения космического пространства. Об этом сообщило Национальное управление по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства (НАСА).

В ходе непродолжительного суборбитального полета осуществлена проверка двух видов технологий, разработанных в исследовательских центрах космического ведомства США в штатах Калифорния и Огайо. Один из них предназначен для "пассивного сведения объектов с орбиты", другой - для "передачи тепловой энергии", сообщили ранее в ведомстве.

Black Brant IX относится к классу зондирующих ракет, используемых для изучения различных явлений в верхних слоях атмосферы, в том числе в ионосфере Земли, а также испытаний новых приборов и механизмов. Такие ракеты летят по параболической траектории и выводят полезную нагрузку в космическое пространство всего на 5-20 минут. Однако специалисты считают, что с учетом невысокой скорости на самом верхнем отрезке пути они создают идеальные условия для научных экспериментов.

Launch of the Black Brant IX occurred at 6:15 a.m.

Launch Result of S-520-30 Sounding Rocket
http://global.jaxa.jp/press/2015/09/20150911_s-520-30.html

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency（JAXA）launched the S-520-30 sounding rocket from the Uchinoura Space Center on September 11 (Fri.), 2015, with the objective of "clarifying the nucleation process of oxide-based cosmic dusts". The flight went smoothly, and the S-520-30 dropped into the south eastern ocean off Uchinoura.

With this experiment, the first sounding rocket experiment in Japan fiscal Year 2015 has been completed. We would like to express our profound appreciation to all related parties and personnel who have been cooperating with the launch of the S-520-30 sounding rocket.

The experiment of the S-520-30 this time aims at clarifying the nucleation process of oxide-based cosmic dusts. We evaporated oxides under the micro-gravity environment by ballistic flight of the S-520-30, and directly measured the generation and growth process of oxide particles that were condensing after the evaporation. For the measurement, we use two kinds of equipment: a dual-wavelength interferometer and an on-site measurement instrument of floating dust infrared spectra. More detailed analysis will be performed at each university.

Launch time (JST): 8:00:00 p.m.
Elevation angle: 78 degrees
Observation start: 53 seconds after liftoff
Highest altitude reached: 312 km (283 seconds after liftoff)
Splashdown time: 550 seconds after liftoff

NASA sounding rocket launched from Wallops Island
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/nation-now/2015/10/07/nasa-sounding-rocket-launched-wallops-island/73549578/

October 7, 2015; CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. — NASA successfully launched a sounding rocket Wednesday evening from its Wallops Flight Facility, the first launch from the site since an Antares rocket exploded shortly after liftoff Oct. 28, 2014.

The mission is designed to test new technology, with the aim of making future space missions less expensive and less risky, officials say.

The suborbital Black Brant IX sounding rocket flight will test the performance of the Black Brant motor in a two-stage configuration. Scientists also will be testing a new method of fabricating the payload that creates the most forward part in one step. The conventional machined and welded construction process is costly, adds weight and introduces more risk, according to NASA.
