Abstract
The results of the study of the gas-dust cloud of solid fuel combustion products dynamics formed under a rocket stages separation are presented. The sequence of the digital images obtained in the twilight condition at a distance of ∼1500 km from the missile trajectory was analyzed. The height of the cloud center reaches up to ∼900 km, and its diameter is ∼2000 km. The glow of the cloud is determined by the scattering of sunlight on dispersed particles of the combustion products. The obtained data allow to specify the dispersed composition of the cloud and dynamic parameters of its development. The proposed methodology can be used to clarify the physical picture of the interaction of the combustion products of solid propellant with the environment, as well as environmental conditions and processes in the upper atmosphere.
