FIRE 1

  1964-U02


The Project FIRE High Velocity Reentry Package studied a blunt body reentry at 11.3 km/s and 15 degree angle. Total launch mass was 2000 kg including the velocity package shell and control system, 1400 kg without but including the Antares IIA5 with 1179 kg of propellant. Fairing is a modified DAC Nimbus fairing. Velocity package contractor was LTV. Reentry package was Republic Aviation Corp. Planned apogee was 837 km.

FIRE 1 reached 11.5736 km/s (or 11.52 km/s, TN-D-2996) at 16.6W 7.8S, 122 km on descent from 840 km, at an angle of -14.608 deg and azimuth 122.5 deg. Range was 8370 km. Possible initial trajectory -2900 x 840 x 30.0. Post burn trajectory -219 x Inf x 32 deg.
