Rocket Sled Test in Slow Motion

Sandia’s 10,000-ft sled track provides a controlled environment to recreate both normal and abnormal scenarios for both small and large test items. Watch in slow motion as a rocket travels down the track at speeds up to 3,200 ft/sec.

Cripes that was quick, been watching Sandia's clips for a long time and often wonder at the upper speed limit for everything involved, for a retired engineer like myself it's mind boggling.

I swear, when I saw the real speed it looked like a roadrunner cartoon. Awesome 😎 Back in my day at Eglin AFB they had an indoor test range and would model different missiles etc.. and shoot them out of a 20mm cannon secured to the ground. There were 100 Hasselblad cameras, 50 in the wall and 50 in the floor that took pictures in flight.

Was it in vacuum? Maybe some kind of hyper ballistic aerodynamics test tunnel ?

@miket2120 3 ай бұрын

It's a capture tunnel. Missile goes in and the tunnel stops it, likely in a crushed rock barrier. The alternative is to let the missile fly free, but that is a lot more dangerous.

Will we be seeing the full video results of this test in a video soon? That was insane just how fast it ended up being and the speed at which it passed the camera was absolutely mind blowing! I would absolutely love to see a video made about this test, like what you've done with previous videos of rockets on the sled. In fact, I'd almost be willing to pay to see this happen! 😃 Also, great job at doing what you all do, keeping everyone safe and for continuing to push the boundaries to discover and learn new things. It's really more appreciated than you all realize. 🙂

While walking to work at the KUMSC on Kirtland AFB, a rocket sled test fired off. We were about two miles away but the rocket sounded like an explosion. Then we saw the plume from the rocket and it all made sense.

In aviation the saying is, "Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing." So her saying the definition of a successful test is the same. Safety first.

What would happen if you built that on a hill pointing up? Would you get escape velocity? That was one of Robert Heinlein's ideas in the moon is a harsh mistress, when they flung rocks at the earth from the moons surface using sled catapults.

@joso5554 10 ай бұрын

Not quite. Escape velocity is above 10 km/sec. That’s about Mach 33 at ground level. The whole test specimen would have melted before reaching the terminal area, I guess. And the sled tracks would be good for the scrapyard.
