INS + GPS. Launch. platform. M270 MLRS, M142 HIMARS. The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) (pronounced PRI-sim) is a short-range ballistic missile developed by the United States Army to replace the MGM-140 ATACMS. The US Army announced that the first PrSM batch has been delivered in December 2023.
Spaceflight. Non-rocket spacelaunch refers to theoretical concepts for launch into space where much of the speed and altitude needed to achieve orbit is provided by a propulsion technique that is not subject to the limits of the rocket equation. [1] Although all space launches to date have been rockets, a number of alternatives to rockets have ...
405 km (251 mi) Maximum speed. 75 km/h (47 mph) The BM-21 "Grad" (Russian: БМ-21 "Град", lit. ' hailstorm ') is a self-propelled 122 mm multiple rocket launcher designed in the Soviet Union.

Houdini is a 3D animation software application developed by Toronto -based SideFX, who adapted it from the PRISMS suite of procedural generation software tools. The procedural tools are used to produce different effects such as complex reflections, animations and particles system. [2] Some of its procedural features have been in existence since ...
v. t. e. A reusable launch vehicle has parts that can be recovered and reflown, while carrying payloads from the surface to outer space. Rocket stages are the most common launch vehicle parts aimed for reuse. Smaller parts such as rocket engines and boosters can also be reused, though reusable spacecraft may be launched on top of an expendable ...
