ADEPT Sounding Rocket One Flight Test Overview
Abstract
On September 12th 2018, a sounding rocket flight test was conducted on a mechanically-deployed atmospheric entry system known as the Adaptable Deployable Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT). The purpose of the Sounding Rocket One (SR-1) test was to gather critical flight data for evaluating the vehicle's in-space deployment performance and supersonic stability. This flight test was a major milestone in a technology development campaign for ADEPT: the application of ADEPT for small secondary payloads. The test was conducted above White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico on a SpaceLoft XL rocket manufactured by UP Aerospace. This paper describes the system components, test execution, and test conclusions.
