An Investigation at Low Speed of the Spin Instability of Mortar-Shell Tails

An investigation was made in the Langley stability tunnel to study the influence of number of fins, fin shrouding, and fin aspect ratio on the spin instability of mortar-shell tail surfaces. It was found that the 12-fin tails tested spun less rapidly throughout the angle-of-yaw range than did the 6-fin tails and that fin shrouding reduced the spin encountered by a large amount.

Infrared radiometer

Radiometer may be used either with an f/16 telescope to measure thermal radiation from the surface of the dark moon or with a short-range optical system to measure thermal radiation from laboratory samples.
