Sounding rockets are rocket vehicles designed to carry scientific payloads above the sensible level of the atmosphere. The trajectories of these rockets are very steep, and as a consequence, two important problems arise. These problems are: (1) The dynamic stability of the entire vehicle system as it leaves the atmosphere; (2) The effect of winds on the initial part of the trajectory of such an unguided vehicle. This paper will describe briefly the results of a NASA attempt to cope with these two problems on a particular rocket vehicle.
