About: Mesquito

An Entity of Type: rocket, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Mesquito is an American sounding rocket vehicle developed for the NASA Sounding Rocket Program on Wallops Island, Virginia. The Mesquito was developed to provide rocket-borne measurements of the mesospheric region of the upper atmosphere. An area of great science interest is in the 82–95 km region, where the conventional understanding of atmospherics physics is being challenged. The maiden flight occurred on 6 May 2008, from LC-2 at the Wallops Flight Facility.

dbo:abstract
  • The Mesquito is an American sounding rocket vehicle developed for the NASA Sounding Rocket Program on Wallops Island, Virginia. The Mesquito was developed to provide rocket-borne measurements of the mesospheric region of the upper atmosphere. An area of great science interest is in the 82–95 km region, where the conventional understanding of atmospherics physics is being challenged. The Mesquito is a two-stage sounding rocket using a 9-inch-diameter (230 mm) solid propellant rocket motor as the first-stage propulsion device. The non-propulsive second-stage dart contains a free-flying structural body that includes an avionics suite and an experiment space with interface. The maiden flight occurred on 6 May 2008, from LC-2 at the Wallops Flight Facility. (en)
  • O Mesquito é um novo foguete de sondagem, veículo desenvolvido pela NASA para o programa de foguete de sondagem em Wallops Island, Virginia. O "Skeeter" (da semelhança ao nome de mosquito) foi desenvolvido para fornecer medições a bordo de foguetes da região mesosférico da atmosfera superior. Uma área de grande interesse da ciência está na região de 82-95 km, onde o entendimento convencional de ruídos física está sendo contestado. O Skeeter é um de dois estágios de foguete de sondagem utilizando um diâmetro de 9 polegadas (230 mm) do motor do foguete de propulsor sólido como o dispositivo de propulsão do primeiro estágio. O voo inaugural ocorreu em 6 de maio de 2008, a partir da LC-2 na Wallops Flight Facility. (pt)
