Highlights

  • European research on microgravity required a new sounding rocket with performance similar to the one delivered by the English rocket Skylark-7, whose production had been discontinued

  • The red line indicates that the points below it may not be included in the aeroelastic analysis procedure

  • The non-matched point flutter analysis will be based on the variation of the freestream speed at each of the maximum dynamic pressure peaks, each one associated to the first and second stage flight phases

Summary

Introduction

European research on microgravity required a new sounding rocket with performance similar to the one delivered by the English rocket Skylark-7, whose production had been discontinued. A Sensitivity Investigation on the Aeroelastic Dynamic Stability of Slender Spinning Sounding Rockets 17 model was developed with the MSC/NASTRAN® software (MSC/NASTRAN, 1995) to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the analysis, assuming a piecewise linear model, because the mass variation should be assumed as constant at a given instant.
