Sounding Rocket - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

A sounding rocket is a special - purpose launch vehicle primarily designed to carry scientific instruments for sub - orbital flights. It is typically an unguided rocket, which means it lacks a complex guidance system for precise trajectory control. Sounding rockets are characterized by their simplicity in structure, low cost, and ease of launch. These features make them highly suitable for applications such as the ad - hoc observation of short - lived natural phenomena like auroras, solar eclipses, and solar flares, as well as the continuous monitoring of natural phenomena that vary with time and location, such as weather conditions.

Sounding rockets play a crucial role in exploring and conducting scientific experiments in the near - Earth space. They can be used to probe the structure, composition, and parameters of different atmospheric layers along the altitude. They are also essential tools for studying a wide range of Sun - Earth physical phenomena, including the ionosphere, geomagnetic fields, cosmic rays, solar ultraviolet and X - rays, and interplanetary dust. Sounding rockets fly higher than weather balloons but lower than low - Earth - orbiting artificial satellites, making them an effective means of exploration in the altitude range of 30 - 200 kilometers. The data obtained from sounding rockets can be applied to various fields, such as weather forecasting, Earth and astrophysics research, and the development of other aerospace vehicles like ballistic missiles, launch vehicles, artificial satellites, and manned spacecraft, by providing necessary environmental parameters.

The sounding rocket system usually consists of several components. The payload, which contains scientific instruments, is often placed in the instrument compartment at the rocket's nose. Sometimes, the diameter of the instrument compartment can be larger than that of the rocket body. The rocket itself is powered by a propulsion system, and most commonly, solid - rocket motors are used as the powerplant, which simplifies and shortens the launch operation time. The launch device, such as a rail or a tower - type launcher, is used to provide the rocket with a sufficient initial velocity to start its flight. Ground stations are responsible for controlling the launch process, receiving and processing data transmitted by the payload through telemetry devices. In some cases, during the rocket's descent, the payload can be ejected from the rocket and safely landed on the ground using parachutes or other aerodynamic deceleration devices for recovery.
