From planning to launch, the operations required to design, draft, fabricate, integrate, test and launch a sounding rocket are extremely complex. This link summarizes those operations and provides video opportunities for viewers to see them in action. The fiberglass boom mount presented as a SolidWorks demonstration on the Mechanical Engineering link can be seen in CAD/CAM format on the Drafting link; the deployment testing of that mechanism can be seen on the Testing & Evaluation link. Initial video load times may be slow; subsequent load times will be automatic. The information on this link is addressed in detail in the Sounding Rocket Handbook which is currently being updated. The handbook will be posted upon completion; questions regarding the content of this Handbook should be
