Scientific paper

The S19 guidance system used to significantly reduce the impact dispersion of sounding rockets is described. With the guidance system, the main contributions to impact dispersion caused by wind errors and thrust misalignment are reduced by a factor of up to ten depending on the comparative unguided case. Therefore, the guidance system will make it possible to launch sounding rockets to much higher altitudes at restricted ranges and will reduce the stand-by time due to severe wind conditions. The modular concept has the advantage that the guidance system, with mirror changes, can be mounted on several different one- or two-stage rockets without any modification of the rocket. Another benefit is that the modular concept permits re-use, since the guidance system can be recovered with the payload.
