Meteorological Rocket Payload for Menaka-II/Rohini-200 and Its Developmental Details

摘要

A rocket payload for measuring meteorological parameters, temperature and wind, is being developed at the institute for altitude range 80-20 Km. An account of work done towards development of this payload is described. The report includes circuit details, data deduction and its accuracy. Various temperature corrections applied due to aerodynamic heating, solar radiation, long-wave radiation, conduction along the lead wires of sensor and support posts of mount are theoretically calculated and discussed.
