A rocket sled track is an indispensible research tool for the development of modern military and aerospace equipment. In application, a test object is mounted on a sled chassis running on precision steel rails and accelerated by rockets and decelerated by water scoops. This captive track testing of full scale aircraft and missile component makes possible the recovery of expensive test sections, facilitates the instrumentation of the tests, and provides a degree of repeatability not normally achieved under conditions of free flight. The basic ballistic equations of motion on the track are reviewed for use in the preliminary layout of such a track facility.
