Terrier-Lynx sounding rocket?
Hello All,
A while back I came across references to the Terrier-Lynx sounding rocket (links to Terrier-Lynx information & photographs, plus an attached photograph, are given below). The Lynx second stage rocket motor appears to be the same size as the Orion motor (which is a military surplus Hawk guided missile motor), yet NASA already uses the original Hawk and Improved Hawk rocket motors under the names Orion and Improved Orion. Is the Lynx motor a third version of the surplus Hawk motor, or is it perhaps a specially-manufactured version of the Hawk motor made to NASA requirements? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help, and here are the Terrier-Lynx links: http://sites.wff.nasa.gov/code810/v...errier_Lynx.pdf http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/terrlynx.htm http://mysite.verizon.net/resspat1/...ble/stable.html

Hello,
the Lynx stage is not related to the Hawk missile. It is a surplus Mk.104 motor from decomissioned Standard SM-2MR Block II (RIM-66G-L) missiles. On the photo you can see, where the original strakes of the Standard missile were mounted. http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau_det/terrier_lynx.htm Hope this helps (although the thread is rather old) Gunter Krebs http://space.skyrocket.de |

Yes, the Malemute has indeed roots with the SAM-D/Patriot, but was manufactured as a sounding rocket motor. In this context it is interesting, that the "improved Malemute", which recently became operational with the Terrier improved Malemute, is indeed a surplus Patriot motor. http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau_d...mp-malemute.htm Gunter Krebs http://space.skyrocket.de |

AFAIK, there were four single stage Malemute launchs. Quote:
The PAC-3 motor is a completely new development and has smaller dimensions than the original Patriot. |

For the third one, i am not sure, what the purpose was. The fourth was a radar target. Gunter Krebs |
