  2. Maneuverable reentry vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuverable_reentry_vehicle

    The Advanced Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle (AMaRV) was a prototype MARV built by McDonnell Douglas. Four AMaRVs were made and represented a significant leap in reentry vehicle sophistication. Three of the AMaRVs were launched by Minuteman-1 ICBMs on 20 December 1979, 8 October 1980 and 4 October 1981. AMaRV had an entry mass of approximately 470 ...

    The first known example was the Alpha Draco tests of 1959, followed by the Boost Glide Reentry Vehicle (BGRV) test series, ASSET [16] and PRIME. [17] This research was eventually put to use in the Pershing II's MARV reentry vehicle. In this case, there is no extended gliding phase; the warhead uses lift only for short periods to adjust its ...

    4. About 180 seconds after launch, the third-stage thrust terminates and the post-boost vehicle (D) separates from the rocket. 5. The post-boost vehicle maneuvers itself and prepares for re-entry vehicle (RV) deployment. 6. While the post-boost vehicle backs away, the RVs, decoys, and chaff are deployed (this may occur during ascent). 7.

    Prototype of the Mk-2 Reentry Vehicle (RV), based on blunt body theory. The original American sphere-cone aeroshell was the Mk-2 RV (reentry vehicle), which was developed in 1955 by the General Electric Corp. The Mk-2's design was derived from blunt-body theory and used a radiatively cooled thermal protection system (TPS) based upon a metallic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentry_capsule

    A reentry capsule is the portion of a space capsule which returns to Earth following a spaceflight. The shape is determined partly by aerodynamics ; a capsule is aerodynamically stable falling blunt end first, which allows only the blunt end to require a heat shield for atmospheric entry .

  9. W62 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W62

    Here is a diagram showing that the diameter of the reentry vehicle is no more than 50.8 cm. [27] [28] The yield of the W62 is publicly believed to be 170 kilotonnes of TNT (710 TJ). [ 2 ] The W56 warhead on Minuteman III's predecessor had a yield of 1.2 megatonnes of TNT (5.0 PJ), [ 29 ] while its successor, the W78, has a yield of 330 to 350 ...
