BLACK KNIGHT INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS PART 1. MAIN BODY INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract : Details are given of the various instrumentation systems used in the main body of Black Knight test vehicles. Although existing guided weapon transducers were used for some measurements, emphasis is placed on the many special techniques which were developed specifically for this application. A brief description of optical tracking aids fitted to the rockets and an outline of the Upper-Atmosphere Research programme carried out is also included.
