Super Arcas
Super Arcas

American sounding rocket. Single stage vehicle, improved version of the original Arcas with a lengthened motor burning for 40 seconds. Payload 4 kg to 100 km or 8 kg to 40 km.

The Super Arcas vehicle system was used from 1962 to carry meteorological measuring devices as high as 100 kilometers. This system was also used to take other types of measurements in the same altitude region with little expense, and quick deployment, Atlantic Research Corporation manufactured the motor. Styrofoam sabots guided the vehicle through the tower launcher. An acceleration of 7g's and burnout roll rate of 25 revolutions per second were realized. The Super Arcas vehicle successfully launched payloads ranging from 4 to 8 kilograms. The payloads had an outside diameter of 11 cm and a typical payload length of 760 cm. These payloads usually consisted of a tangent ogive nose cone housing the experiment mated to a parachute system assembly containing a high altitude, radar reflective decelerator. Payload separation was programmed by a delay train for 148 seconds after launch.

Payload: 4.00 kg (8.80 lb) to a 100 km altitude.
