Arcas
Arcas
Sounding rocket. Year: 1959. Family: Arcas. Country: USA.

Single stage sounding rocket.

The Arcas was originally conceived by the Stanford Research Institute for the US Civil Defense Administration for measurement of nuclear fallout. Instead the Office of Naval Research and Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory contracted Atlantic Research to develop the rocket to measure winds aloft prior to high-altitude aircraft or missile tests. The small missile could be loaded by two crew into a simple launch tube. This was closed, like a gun tube, the gases from the missile ensuring that it already exited the tube at 240 kph. The breech-closure and plastic spacers fell away from the rocket after it cleared the tube. The slow-burning motor worked for 30 seconds before burning out. After 75 to 100 seconds a timer jettisoned the payload nose cone, which came down under parachute and provided temperature and pressure data. Radar tracking provided altitude and wind information to correlate with this. Later payloads included falling spheres (tracked by radar to precisely measure drag), ozone measurements, and small biological experiments.

By the early 1960's as many as 42 a week were being fired in the Air Force Meteorolgical Network alone. Many derivatives were built, until the basic meteorological profiling task was taken over by the even cheaper Super Loki in the late 1960's.

From NASA SOUNDING ROCKETS, 1958-1968 - A Historical Summary, NASA SP-4401, 1971, by William R. Corliss
During 1965 Goddard began using the Arcas sounding rocket, a vehicle first used back in 1958 by the Navy and in 1959 by Langley Research Center and Wallops. The Arcas was an inexpensive rocket, costing only about $2000 per round. Perhaps 2000 were fired each year, mainly for meteorological purposes. It was also a good rocket for launching small payloads to moderate altitudes- 5.4 kg (12 lb) to 64 km (40 mi), nominal performance, and employed no special launch equipment. It was therefore eminently suited for NASA's international programs. The Arcas was put into service in Norway, New Zealand, and other countries during the 1965-1968 period. The rockets were purchased directly from the Atlantic Research Corp.
