THE JOURNAL OF SPACE FLIGHT

ROCKET ABSTRACTS

Edited by N.J. Bowman
Abstractors: H. Sadowski, W. Proell and N.J. Bowman

As a service to our readers, the editorial staff of the JOURNAL OF SPACE FLIGHT systematically read and abstract articles in over 100 journals which are of interest to the field of rockets and of interplanetary travel. Readers are invited to send in abstracts of pertinent papers from journals or newspapers other than the common or outstanding journals in the field.
--------------------------------
623. "Interplanetary Flight: an Introduction to Aeronautics." A new Book by Arthur C. Clarke. London Temple Press 1950. 164 pages, price 8 & 6. This pocket sized volume on space flight is presented from an astronomical view point. Mr. Clarke devotes one chapter to the development of the rocket, another to the atomic rocket and concludes with a mathematical appendix containing certain equations used in heat transfer and radiation. HS

624. "Upper Atmosphere Research II," U.S. Office of Naval Research, Naval Research Lab. report No. R-3030. December 30, 1946. This is a report on the second group of V2 firings including the firing of October 10. It contains information on telemetering from the V2, upper atmosphere experiments conducted with the V2 and similar data. HS

625. ibid. No. 4. Report number R-3171 October 1947. This is an account of the research program of the Naval Research Lab. during the third and fourth cycles of V2 firings at White Sands during December 1946. It contains data similar to the other reports of the series. HS

626. "Equations of Motion of a Rocket." N.A.C.A. Technical Memorandum No. 1255 April 1950. Further data not available at present. HS

627. "Flaw Detector for Metals." Aero Digest. July 1950. A new process called Dy Chek is discussed which shows up clearly any cracks or flaws found in metal surfaces which cannot be seen with a magnifying glass. HS

628. "Aluminum Borohydride as Fuel for Space Ships." W. Proell & N.J. Bowman. J. Space Flight Jan. 1950 page 1. Aluminum borohydride appears to be an ideal rocket fuel considering the physical properties and higher exhaust velocity than hydrogen. The performance of a rocket powered by aluminum borohydride is calculated and compared with other fuels, with oxygen as oxidizer in all cases. Extremely favorable mass ratios and performance are found. NJB
