The paper describes the design, construction, and testing of a liquid fueled rocket. Design calculations for the engine and propulsion systems were performed, checked, and an engine was constructed to those specifications. A static test stand was constructed and instrumented to evaluate engine performance during full duration static firings. The engine and propulsion system proved successful and were then incorporated into the flight vehicle. The remainder of the paper describes the design, construction, and testing of all flight hardware including an on-board camera system and recovery system. Two unsuccessful attempts to launch the missile were made on 11 May 1976 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The reasons for the failure were corrected and the missile was succesfully launched on 17 May 1976. (Author)
