Scientific paper

Accurate knowledge of the instantaneous impact point (IIP) is a key requirement for range safety operations during a sounding rocket launch. This paper discusses various tracking systems and trajectory models employed for IIP prediction by SSC and DLR and presents a novel GPS based onboard IIP sensor. Flight data from the Maxus-4 and -5 missions conducted at ESRANGE, Kiruna, are discussed to demonstrate the benefit of GPS based range safety over radar systems. The VS-30/Cuma mission, in contrast, is used to point out inherent limitations in the forecast of aerodynamic effects encountered in extreme, non-nominal flight situations.
