This is the sixty-fifth article in the X-Planes series, following the X-1, the X-2, the X-3, the X-4, the X-5, the X-6, the X-7, the X-8, the X-9, the X-10, the X-11, the X-12, the X-13, the X-14, the X-15, the X-16, the X-17, the X-18, the X-19, the X-20, the X-21, the X-22, the X-23, the X-24, the X-25, the X-26, the X-27, the X-28, the X-29, the X-30, the X-31, the X-32, the X-33, the X-34, the X-35, the X-36, the X-37, the X-38, the X-39, the X-40, the X-41, the X-42, the X-43, the X-44, the X-45, the X-46, the X-47, the X-48, the X-49, the X-50, the X-51, the X-52, the X-53, the X-54, the X-55, the X-56, the X-57, the X-58, the X-59, the X-60, the X-61, the X-62, and the X-63.

The register describes this vehicle in one hundred and one characters that it also uses for a different vehicle, and the laboratory that paid for both says they are not alike.

The X-64A was allocated on 20 April 2022 to a team of three companies led by Invocon Incorporated, with KT Engineering and Troy7 Incorporated [Invocon X-64] [ABL Space Systems X-63]. The previous article took the other half of the same allocation, the X-63A of ABL Space Systems, and established that the two rows share their date, their sponsor cell, their engines cell and every character of their description [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum].

Demonstrator rocket for AFRL’s ARISE (Aerospike Rocket Integration and Suborbital Experiment) program

The register records no more than that about either machine. This article is about what the register conceals, which is a vehicle of a different shape, built by a team of a different trade, to answer the half of the question its sibling cannot answer alone.

The Research Question

An aerospike nozzle is worth between five and eight percent of first-stage impulse, and the question this vehicle exists to settle is whether five to eight percent can be seen from the ground.

The previous article computed the prize. On the published reference trajectory of the parent vehicle, an ideal altitude-compensating nozzle delivers between 5.3 and 8.5 percent more first-stage impulse than the best fixed nozzle that trajectory admits. The figure is a result in thermodynamics and is silent on instruments.

A flight test does not measure impulse. It measures whatever its transducers measure, and then somebody reconstructs impulse from that. So the questions here are these. What does an instrument on a rocket observe, and what has to be assumed to turn that observation into thrust? How accurate must each assumption be before a five percent effect is distinguishable from the error in the measurement of it? What does a finite ring of sensors on an annular nozzle fail to see? And what does it mean that this vehicle, unlike its sibling, is designed to come back?

The answers are sharper than the programme’s language suggests, and one of them is reassuring. The observable is not thrust but thrust minus drag, so recovering thrust requires a drag model and the accuracy of that model sets the accuracy of the whole experiment. The drag term is the only one nothing on board measures. But the signal is collected early and the drag confounder peaks late, so by the time drag is at its worst the measurement is largely already banked. And the vehicle’s published dimensions, of which there are exactly two, indicate a shape chosen for recovery rather than for ascent.

Programme Origin

The programme reached the register as a finished arrangement, and its origin lies in an award made well before the designation. The award was a three-year other transaction agreement made in December 2019 with a team led by Invocon Incorporated [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. The designation was allocated on 20 April 2022, on the same day as the X-63A [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum]. The Air Force Research Laboratory’s background document, cleared in September 2022, places the vehicle in a portfolio whose stated goals are development time and development cost rather than performance [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. The origin is therefore read from four records, being the register, the laboratory’s background document, the award announcement and the federal award record of the three companies [USAspending], and the subsections that make up this section read them in turn.

The Register Row, Read From the Other Side

The designation register that Andreas Parsch compiles as an addendum to the published designation list gives the X-64A a row identical to the X-63A’s in every cell that describes the machine, differing only in the contractor [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum].

Designation Allocated Contractor Engines cell Sponsor Description marked as a reconstruction
X-63A 20-Apr-22 ABL Space Systems 1 rocket engine USAF/USSF yes
X-64A 20-Apr-22 Invocon, KT Engineering, Troy7 1 rocket engine USAF/USSF yes

That row carries three facts, all established in the X-63A article. In the copy of the register last updated on 23 August 2026, eleven descriptions repeat somewhere among its 539 rows, and this pair is the only repeat among the thirty-one rows of the X- series. The sponsor cell reads USAF/USSF, which only these two rows in that copy of the register do. And the engines cell reads 1 rocket engine, naming a class where the register almost always names a model, which again only these two rows do [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum].

Both rows are also marked as reconstructions. The compiler notes that no complete official data exists for allocations after October 2018, that their official description is not releasable, and that he prints his own reading in blue to show it is not official wording [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum]. So the hundred and one characters this article opened with are the compiler’s summary of open sources and not a government statement, and the three-state officiality classification the X-63A article recomputed puts both rows in the wholly unofficial category.

What is primary in that row is the date, the contractor names and the fact that two numbers were issued at once. Everything describing the vehicle is secondary, and the sentence describing the vehicle is the part the two rows share verbatim.

What the Laboratory Says That the Register Does Not

The Air Force Research Laboratory published a background document on its rocket propulsion organisation, cleared in September 2022, and one paragraph of it contradicts the impression the register leaves. It names the portfolio ARISE belongs to by its initials alone, being the Affordable Responsive Modular Rocket, and the expansion is supplied here because the passage quoted below does not carry it [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future].

Under the Aerospike Rocket Integration and Suborbital Experiment (ARISE) AFRL, working in Public Private Partnerships with Invocon and ABL Space Systems, will fly the first ever modular aerospike engine. Each company has their own launch vehicle and chosen approach to implementing the ARMR architecture. ABL’s vehicle has been designated X-63 while Invocon’s is designated X-64.

The laboratory’s public fact sheet for the programme omits all of that, describing the aerospike, the three wake regimes and the modular architecture without naming either designation [ARISE and Fly]. The X-63A article read that sheet in full and found it names its two flight-test vehicles only as abl and Invocon in a figure caption. So the designations and the companies are tied together in the background paper and in no other laboratory publication this article consulted.

Each company has its own launch vehicle and its own chosen approach. That sentence justifies a separate account of this vehicle in place of a paragraph in its sibling’s. The register assigns one description to two vehicles, and the laboratory that commissioned them describes vehicles that differ in design and in approach [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. A designation register is a naming instrument and not a technical one, and this is what that distinction costs a reader who has only the register.

Two further things fall out of the same paragraph. The document ties each designation to its company in a government publication, which the register does only through the contractor cell. And it calls the instrument a Public Private Partnership, where the award announcement calls it an other transaction agreement executed through the Space Enterprise Consortium [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. Those are not in conflict. A public private partnership is a description of the relationship and an other transaction agreement is the legal vehicle for it, and the article on the sibling designation established that the second is why neither award appears in the federal procurement record.

The Team in the Award Record

The award announcement describes the lead contractor in one sentence [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE].

Invocon is a veteran-owned small business that provides turnkey instrumentation and control solutions for demanding applications in extreme environments and has teamed with KT Engineering and Troy7 for their unique capabilities.

The prime contractor for a rocket is an instrumentation house. No other fact about this vehicle tells a reader as much, and the award record bears it out at length, independently of the company’s self-description.

Searching the federal award reporting system by recipient name across five families of award type returns 81 rows for Invocon, and their descriptions are the descriptions of a measurement company [USAspending]. An internal and external wireless instrumentation system. Hypervelocity impact detection, location and assessment. Two radiation monitors, one of them an environment monitor for spacecraft under the small business research programme. A micro-wireless instrumentation system design and development. A blanket agreement for miscellaneous data acquisition equipment and networking. The largest single row is mission support awarded through the Department of Defense at 3,053,408 dollars and 20 cents, and the company founded in 1985 describes itself as four decades of precision instrumentation from Conroe, Texas [Invocon, About Us].

KT Engineering’s record is not instrumentation. It is this programme’s architecture, a decade early.

Company Role named in the announcement Award rows Largest row What the largest row is for
Invocon lead, turnkey instrumentation and control 81 3,053,408.20 dollars mission support, Department of Defense
KT Engineering unique capabilities 15 6,571,144.00 dollars segmented launch vehicle manufacturing development and demonstration
Troy7, as Troy 7 unique capabilities 15 2,889,435.00 dollars a hypersonic control system
Troy7, as Troy7 unique capabilities 0 none the spelling returns nothing

Fifteen rows return for KT Engineering and the largest of them is a segmented launch vehicle manufacturing development and demonstration programme at 6,571,144 dollars, followed by crew exploration vehicle propulsion advanced development of a 7,500 pound force vacuum engine at 4,186,522 dollars. Two further rows are third-phase small business awards for a radially segmented launch vehicle [USAspending]. Asking the award record for segmented launch vehicle returns seven rows and every one of them is this company’s. Segmented launch vehicles, a modular architecture at the scale of the whole vehicle, have been a funded line of work under one of the X-64A’s subcontractors since at least 2004, when the largest of those awards began [USAspending].

Troy7’s largest award is for control, and finding it at all depends on a space.

The announcement writes the company Troy7 and the award record writes it TROY 7, INC. [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE] [USAspending]. The keyword Troy7 returns nothing in any of the five award families. The keyword Troy 7 returns fifteen rows. The largest is a research and development contract for a hypersonic control system at 2,889,435 dollars. So the largest awards divide the team into instrumentation, propulsion and control, and one third of it is invisible to a search that spells its name the way its customer spells it. A name is a query, and a query is only as good as its spelling.

The spaced spelling also imports the collision the unspaced one avoided. Among those fifteen rows are a router backup belonging to a different company and a seven-inch drop-in rail belonging to a third, both matched because Troy 7 occurs inside TROY 7" DROP-IN RAIL and inside a product name. A more findable query is a less precise one, and both halves of that trade have to be stated for the count to mean anything.

Programme Targets in Time and Money

The previous article observed that the modularity half of ARISE is a claim about cost and schedule rather than about performance, and said the fact sheet did not quantify it. The background document does quantify it [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future].

The goal of the ARMR portfolio is to radically change the current space access engine design paradigm. We seek to reduce the development time for a new engine by 70% and reduce the development cost by 50%.

Seventy percent off the schedule and fifty percent off the cost. Those are the numbers the modular architecture is accountable to, and neither is a thrust or an impulse. An engine assembled from many copies of one small module is an argument about how many distinct components have to be designed, qualified and tolerated, and the portfolio states its target as a factor of about three and a third in time and two in money.

The same document places ARISE at the end of a lineage that the laboratory names and dates.

Programme Years the document gives What it aimed at How far it got
Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator 1994 to 2006 200 mission life, 100 mean time between overhaul, twenty times the Space Shuttle the world’s first full-flow staged combustion engine, demonstrated
Upper Stage Engine Technology from 2004 a modernised upper-stage industrial base and better analysis tools technologies now in several commercial engines, over 150 tool transitions
Hydrocarbon Boost Demonstrator from 2007 to beat the RD-180 on performance and reusability, 200 mission life a preburner rather than a full engine
Third Generation Reusable Booster named, not dated a reusable booster leveraged into the portfolio that follows
Affordable Responsive Modular Rocket present at the 2022 clearance 70 percent less development time, 50 percent less development cost ARISE, being the two vehicles of this article and the last

Two of those predecessors carried quantified reusability goals and neither reached a flying engine. The integrated powerhead demonstrator ran from 1994 to 2006, demonstrated what the document calls the world’s first full-flow staged combustion engine, and aimed at 200 mission life and 100 mean time between overhaul. The hydrocarbon boost programme began in 2007 with the same 200 mission life target and progressed only far enough to demonstrate a preburner rather than a full engine, which the document states plainly while also calling the programme an outstanding success on the strength of requests for information about its technologies [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future].

One phrase in that document recurs. It writes twice that a programme sought to bring a part of the industry into the 22nd century, once of the modelling tools and once of the upper-stage industrial base [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. A document cleared in 2022 describing work begun in 2004 almost certainly means the twenty-first. The phrase is a slip and carries no ambiguity. This series quotes primaries verbatim, so a reader meeting the phrase in the original should know it was not corrected in transit.

A second slip in the same document is a matter of chemistry. Describing the Titan’s propellants it reports that the laboratory experimented with switching to nitrogen tetroxide and Aerozine 50, and then in the next sentence discusses the storability of nitrogen tetroxide and monomethylhydrazine, which it says found their way into the Titan II and the whole Titan family [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. Aerozine 50 and monomethylhydrazine are not the same fuel, the first being a one-to-one mixture of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine [Copeland et al. 1967], and a NASA study of the Titan 4 names Aerozine 50 as the fuel of its liquid stages [Palaszewski and Powell 1991]. The storability argument the paragraph makes holds for either, which is presumably why the substitution passed.

Sizing From First Principles

Sizing this vehicle from first principles means sizing two things, and the record supports arithmetic for one and a requirement for the other. The first is the vehicle itself, of which two approximate dimensions are published and nothing else, so its geometry can be computed while its mass, thrust and drag coefficient cannot [Invocon X-64]. The second is the experiment the vehicle was to carry, which can be sized even where the vehicle cannot, because the accuracy a drag model must have follows from the drag fraction, the size of the effect and the instrument errors alone. What is computed is therefore the geometry the two numbers fix and the accuracy the measurement demands, with the drag fraction left as a variable because no published figure fixes it.

The Published Shape

Two numbers describe this vehicle and they are enough to say what it was for.

The encyclopedia entry reports, from the contractor’s release about the contract award, that the vehicle is apparently recoverable, that it lands on a gear of four legs which function as stabilising fins during flight and presumably rotate downward before landing, and that it stands about 12 metres tall with a diameter of about 2.4 metres [Invocon X-64]. The entry itself states that only little public information about the X-64A is available and that detailed physical characteristics are not yet available. The specification ends there.

The contractor’s release has not been read by this article. The live company site no longer carries it and the archive returned no capture, so the physical description above is taken at second hand from an entry that names the release as its source. What follows is arithmetic on two numbers whose provenance is one remove away.

Set those two numbers beside the parent vehicle of the sibling designation, whose payload user’s guide gives 88 feet integrated length and 6 feet diameter [ABL Payload User’s Guide].

Three elementary relations underlie this section, and they are written down because every number below is one of them evaluated twice. Let $L$ be the length in metre, $D_b$ the body diameter in metre, $f$ the fineness ratio [fineness ratio], dimensionless, $A$ the reference frontal area in square metre, $S$ the wetted side area of the equivalent cylinder in square metre, and $V_c$ its enclosed volume in cubic metre.

\[f \equiv \frac{L}{D_b}, \qquad A = \frac{\pi D_b^2}{4}, \qquad S = \pi D_b L, \qquad V_c = A L \tag{1}\]

Two of the comparisons below are therefore not independent measurements but consequences, and saying which is which keeps the argument honest. Read as scaling laws at fixed shape,

\[A \propto D_b^{2}, \qquad S \propto D_b L, \qquad V_c \propto D_b^{2} L \tag{2}\]

The frontal-area ratio is the square of the diameter ratio and nothing else. So the figure of 1.72 quoted below is 1.3123 squared, and the volume ratio of 0.7705 is that same 1.72 multiplied by the length ratio of 0.4474. Neither is a separate fact about the vehicles, and a reader who checked them against each other would find them consistent by construction rather than by agreement.

Quantity X-64A RS1, the sibling’s parent Ratio
Length 12.0 metre 26.8224 metre 0.4474
Diameter 2.4 metre 1.8288 metre 1.3123
Fineness ratio 5.00 14.6667 2.9333
Frontal area 4.5239 square metre 2.6268 square metre 1.7222
Cylinder volume 54.29 cubic metre 70.46 cubic metre 0.7705
Wetted side area 90.48 square metre 154.10 square metre 0.5871
One calibre of static margin, as a share of length 20.0 percent 6.8 percent 2.9333

The X-64A is 44.7 percent of the RS1’s length and 131.2 percent of its diameter. Its fineness ratio, being length divided by diameter, is 5.0 against the RS1’s 14.67, so the parent vehicle is 2.93 times as slender. Both published figures for the X-64A are approximate and both are round in both unit systems, forty feet by eight and twelve metres by two point four, so the exactness of 5.0 is an artefact of the rounding, and the defensible statement is a fineness ratio of about five. With lengths in metre the ratios are

\[\frac{12.0}{26.8224} = 0.4474, \qquad \frac{2.4}{1.8288} = 1.3123, \qquad f = \frac{12.0}{2.4} = 5.00 \quad \text{against} \quad \frac{26.8224}{1.8288} = 14.667, \qquad \frac{14.667}{5.00} = 2.933 \tag{3}\]

A fineness ratio of five is not a launch-vehicle proportion. It is nearer to that of a lander or an early sounding rocket, and its consequences are arithmetic.

The frontal area is 4.524 square metres against 2.627, which is 1.72 times as much. Pressure drag and base drag both scale with that area, so at equal mass and equal drag coefficient this vehicle’s drag force is 1.72 times its sibling’s, and that factor comes from published dimensions with no aerodynamic model in it at all.

The drag coefficients are probably not equal either, and the asymmetry needs careful statement because it is a judgement rather than a derivation. Base area is the same for a given diameter however long the body is, so the difference is not one of area. What fineness changes is the boundary layer arriving at the base and the bluntness of the nose. A longer body presents a thicker boundary layer at its base, which raises the base pressure and lowers base drag, so the shorter vehicle pays more of it. And a body of fineness five carries a nose of proportionally lower fineness for the same overall proportions, which raises forebody wave drag through the transonic and low supersonic range where this vehicle spends its dynamic pressure.

Running the other way is skin friction, and it favours the short vehicle. A cylinder of these proportions has 90.5 square metres of side area against the RS1’s 154.1, so friction drag is lower by a factor of 1.70 on area alone.

Which of those wins is not settled here. At the Mach numbers computed below, wave and base drag are the larger contributions and friction the smaller, so the expectation is that the shorter vehicle’s drag coefficient is the higher of the two. That expectation is an inference from the ordering of drag contributions and not a computation, so the only claim this article makes about drag without qualification is the geometric one. The frontal-area factor of 1.72 holds at equal mass and equal drag coefficient, and putting a number above it would need a drag model for a configuration whose contours are not public.

And the enclosed volume says the shortness is not a matter of being a smaller vehicle. The X-64A’s cylinder holds 54.29 cubic metres against the RS1’s 70.46, which is 77.1 percent of the volume in 44.7 percent of the length. It is not a scaled-down launch vehicle. It is a differently proportioned one. In cubic metre,

\[V_c = \frac{\pi \left( 2.4 \right)^2}{4} \left( 12.0 \right) = 54.29, \qquad V_c = \frac{\pi \left( 1.8288 \right)^2}{4} \left( 26.8224 \right) = 70.46, \qquad \frac{54.29}{70.46} = 1.7222 \times 0.4474 = 0.7705 \tag{4}\]

The proportion is what a recoverable vehicle wants. Four legs deployed from a 2.4 metre body give a footprint whose radius is a larger fraction of the vehicle’s height than the same legs on a 26.8 metre body could, the centre of mass of a returning stage sits lower on a short body, and the aerodynamic surfaces that steer a descent have a shorter moment arm to work against. Every one of those favours the short vehicle, and every one of them costs drag on the way up. The section on the measurement shows where that cost is paid.

The Claim, Stated Exactly

Everything that follows depends on what an instrument bolted to a rocket senses, which is not what a reader might assume.

Let $F$ be the thrust in newton, $D$ the aerodynamic drag in newton, $m$ the instantaneous mass in kilogram, $g$ the local gravitational acceleration in metre per second squared, $\gamma$ the flight-path angle in radian and $v$ the speed in metre per second. Newton’s second law along the flight path reads

\[m \frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = F - D - m g \sin \gamma \tag{5}\]

which contains four quantities of which one is wanted and three are not. A body-mounted accelerometer does not measure $\mathrm{d}v / \mathrm{d}t$. It measures specific force, being the non-gravitational force per unit mass [proper acceleration], because a freely falling accelerometer reads zero. Write $a_s$ for the sensed specific force in metre per second squared. Then

\[a_s = \frac{F - D}{m}, \qquad F = m \, a_s + D \tag{6}\]

The gravitational term has vanished and it has vanished exactly. An accelerometer’s blindness to gravity, which is an inconvenience for navigation, is the property that makes it the right instrument for measuring thrust, because the largest term in the equation of motion is the one it declines to see. It is why a thrust measurement in flight is possible at all without knowing where the vehicle is.

One assumption is buried in that identity. Thrust and drag are written as though both act along the flight path, which is true at zero angle of attack and not otherwise. An accelerometer aligned with the body axis measures the body-axial component of the total non-gravitational force, and the aerodynamic force resolves onto that axis through the angle of attack. Let $\alpha$ be the angle of attack in radian, $N_a$ the aerodynamic normal force in newton, and $X_a$ the axial aerodynamic force in newton.

\[a_s = \frac{F - X_a}{m}, \qquad X_a = D \cos \alpha - N_a \sin \alpha \tag{7}\]

At zero angle of attack $X_a$ is the drag and the identity above is exact. Away from it the normal force contributes a forward axial component, so a vehicle at angle of attack has a smaller retarding axial force than its drag, and an analysis that substituted $D$ for $X_a$ would understate the thrust it recovered.

A gravity-turning launch vehicle flies at a small angle of attack by design [gravity turn], because the pitch program exists to keep the airframe aligned with the relative wind through the dense atmosphere, so the approximation is a good one in the regime where it is applied. It is an approximation nonetheless, and correcting it needs $\alpha$, which needs either an air-data measurement or a reconstruction, and this article has neither.

What remains is a sum of three quantities and only one of them is measured directly. The specific force is measured. The mass is inferred rather than measured, from an initial value and an integrated propellant flow. Let $m_0$ be the initial mass in kilogram and $\dot{m}$ the propellant mass flow in kilogram per second.

\[m(t) = m_0 - \int_{0}^{t} \dot{m}(s) \, \mathrm{d}s \tag{8}\]

That integral is why the mass error grows through the burn rather than staying where the loading scales left it. A constant relative error in the flow measurement accumulates into an absolute mass error proportional to the propellant already spent, so the mass term in the budget below is at its worst late in the flight, at the opposite end from where the altitude-compensation signal lives.

The drag is neither measured nor inferred. It is modelled.

The Literature of In-Flight Thrust Determination

Determining thrust in flight is a settled discipline with an established methodology, and it reaches the conclusion derived in the preceding paragraphs. The review of measurement error in the practice puts it plainly [Uncertainty of in-flight thrust determination].

While the term ‘in-flight thrust determination’ is used synonymously with ‘in-flight thrust measurement’, in-flight thrust is not directly measured but is determined or calculated using mathematical modeling relationships between in-flight thrust and various direct measurements of physical quantities.

The field stated the premise of this article in 1986, thirty-three years before the award of December 2019. The companion review of the processes themselves surveys the analytical and ground-test routes and works three turbofan examples [In-flight thrust determination] [on a real-time basis], and a separate study traces how measurement error propagates into a computed thrust for one engine in detail [Measurement effects for an F404 turbofan].

And that literature is about air-breathing engines, so its method differs from this one. A turbofan’s thrust cannot be reached through an accelerometer, because the inlet captures a momentum flux that depends on the flight condition, so the net propulsive force is not separable from the airframe’s drag by any body-mounted instrument. The practice therefore calculates thrust from direct measurements of physical quantities through modelling relationships, with ground testing as part of the process [Uncertainty of in-flight thrust determination]. A rocket carries its oxidiser and captures nothing, so the accelerometer route is open to it, and the simplification is legitimate, and the earlier work did not overlook it.

The inverse problem was solved in flight once and the way it was solved shows how entangled the two forces are. The drag of the XB-70 was measured in flight from Mach 0.75 to 2.5, and the paper describing it is explicit that what made that possible was determining engine net thrust independently and then charging the remainder to the propulsion system [Techniques for determining propulsion system forces]. Thrust minus drag is one observable and splitting it needs a model of one or the other. This article models the drag and recovers the thrust, where that programme modelled the thrust and recovered the drag. Neither can have both for free.

And the Established Methodology Carries a Term This Article’s Budget Does Not

The methodology the field settled on is independent of how thrust is calculated and traceable to a national standards laboratory, and it enumerates what an uncertainty statement has to contain [Uncertainty methodology for in-flight thrust determination] [its application]. Its categories are measurement error, precision, bias, uncertainty, error estimation and classification, error propagation, ground testing, and the related problems of model bias error, model precision error and the uncertainty limit.

Three of those this article does not have, and naming them is more useful than pretending otherwise. It does not separate bias from precision, treating every term as a random contribution combined in quadrature, when a calibration offset is a bias that does not average down over a flight. It has no model bias term at all, though that term is where a drag model’s systematic error would be carried, and a drag model’s error is far more likely to be systematic than random because it comes from a wrong shape assumption rather than from noise. And it states no uncertainty limit in the methodology’s sense.

So the budget here is a sensitivity analysis rather than an uncertainty statement, and the difference matters for how its conclusions should be read. It shows correctly how the answer’s sensitivity to each input scales. It does not say, and cannot say, what the uncertainty of a real measurement would have been.

One further point of contact is exact rather than approximate. A single demonstrator flight is a single-sample experiment in the technical sense, meaning one that cannot be repeated enough to estimate its own scatter, and single-sample uncertainty analysis is a developed subject with standard conventions [Moffat 1982]. A programme that funds one flight has bought a single sample, and the apparatus of precision estimated from repetition is unavailable to it by construction.

An Error Budget With One Unmeasured Term

Treat the three errors as independent and propagate them through $F = m a_s + D$. Let $\delta$ denote the uncertainty in whatever follows it. Then

\[\left( \delta F \right)^2 = \left( a_s \, \delta m \right)^2 + \left( m \, \delta a_s \right)^2 + \left( \delta D \right)^2 \tag{9}\]

Divide by $F^2$ and introduce the drag fraction $d \equiv D / F$, dimensionless. Because $m a_s = F - D = (1 - d) F$, the mass and accelerometer terms both carry that factor while the drag term carries $d$.

\[\left( \frac{\delta F}{F} \right)^2 = \left( 1 - d \right)^2 \left[ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^2 \right] + d^2 \left( \frac{\delta D}{D} \right)^2 \tag{10}\]

The budget is complete as written, and its structure is the finding. The two terms a designer can improve by buying better instruments are attenuated by $1 - d$, which is close to one. The term that cannot be improved by any instrument on the vehicle is amplified by $d$, which is small, so the drag model’s accuracy is multiplied by a small number before it reaches the answer. Whether that suffices can be settled by arithmetic.

Two limits can be read off before any numbers. At $d = 0$, which is flight in vacuum, the drag model drops out entirely and the measurement is as good as the mass bookkeeping and the accelerometer. At $d = 1$, which is a vehicle whose drag equals its thrust and therefore is not accelerating, the instruments drop out entirely and the answer is whatever the drag model says. A launch vehicle spends its first minute somewhere between those, closer to the first, and the question is how much closer.

An Instrument Floor Present Even in Vacuum

Set the drag error to zero and the budget collapses to the instrument terms alone.

\[\frac{\delta F}{F}\Big\rvert_{d = 0} = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^2 } \tag{11}\]
Mass bookkeeping Accelerometer Thrust error at zero drag As a share of a 5.3 percent effect
1.0 percent 0.5 percent 1.118 percent 21.1 percent
0.5 percent 0.2 percent 0.539 percent 10.2 percent
2.0 percent 1.0 percent 2.236 percent 42.2 percent

Evaluated on the first row, with the effect $\Delta = 0.053$,

\[\frac{\delta F}{F}\Big\rvert_{d = 0} = \sqrt{ \left( 0.010 \right)^2 + \left( 0.005 \right)^2 } = 0.01118, \qquad \frac{0.01118}{0.053} = 0.211 \tag{12}\]

Against a five point three percent effect, the instrument floor alone consumes between a tenth and two fifths of the budget. A mass bookkeeping good to one percent and an accelerometer good to half a percent give 1.12 percent, which is 21.1 percent of the smaller of the X-63 article’s two gain figures. Tightening the instruments to half a percent and two tenths of a percent gives 0.54 percent, which is 10.2 percent of it. Loosening them to two percent and one percent gives 2.24 percent, or 42.2 percent of the effect. So even a vehicle flying in vacuum with a perfect drag model would spend a tenth of its error budget before the atmosphere was mentioned, and mass bookkeeping is the larger of the two contributions in every case.

Where the Atmosphere Pushes Hardest

The drag fraction $d$ follows the dynamic pressure, so the shape of the dynamic-pressure history decides when the measurement is hardest.

Let $\rho$ be the atmospheric mass density in kilogram per cubic metre and $q$ the dynamic pressure [dynamic pressure] in pascal, with $C_D$ the drag coefficient, dimensionless, and $A$ the reference frontal area in square metre.

\[q = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho v^2, \qquad D = q \, C_D A \tag{13}\]

The density comes from the 1976 United States Standard Atmosphere, whose defining constants give pressure and temperature by layer and from which density follows by the perfect-gas law without tabulation, as in the standard itself [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976]. Let $R$ be the specific gas constant of air in joule per kilogram kelvin and $T$ the temperature in kelvin.

\[\rho(h) = \frac{p_a(h)}{R \, T(h)} \tag{14}\]

Both of those come from the layer structure and neither is tabulated here [defining constants and abbreviated tables]. Let $T_0$, $p_0$ and $h_0$ be the temperature, pressure and altitude at the base of a layer, in kelvin, pascal and metre, and $\lambda$ its lapse rate in kelvin per metre.

\[T(h) = T_0 + \lambda \left( h - h_0 \right) \tag{15}\] \[p_a(h) = p_0 \left( 1 + \frac{\lambda \left( h - h_0 \right)}{T_0} \right)^{-\frac{g_0}{R \lambda}}, \qquad p_a(h) = p_0 \exp\left( -\frac{g_0 \left( h - h_0 \right)}{R T_0} \right) \tag{16}\]

The second form is the limit of the first as the lapse rate goes to zero and is the form an isothermal layer needs. No other relation in the article is needed alongside its degenerate case.

The speed of sound and the Mach number follow, and the ratio of specific heats needs a new letter. The X-63A article wrote that ratio $\gamma$, which has already been spent on the flight-path angle, so it is written $\kappa$ here. Let $c$ be the speed of sound in metre per second and $M$ the Mach number, dimensionless.

\[c = \sqrt{\kappa R T}, \qquad M = \frac{v}{c} \tag{17}\]

These relations give 1.225000 kilogram per cubic metre at sea level and 0.363918 at 11 kilometres, against the standard’s published 1.2250 and 0.36391, and a sound speed of 340.294 metres per second against the standard’s 340.294 [defining constants and abbreviated tables].

The Density Scale Height Is Not the Pressure Scale Height

The natural length for a density profile is the density scale height [scale height], and in a layer with a lapse rate it differs from the pressure scale height that the X-63A article used. Let $\lambda$ be the lapse rate in kelvin per metre and $H_\rho$ the density scale height in metre.

\[H_\rho \equiv -\frac{\rho}{\mathrm{d}\rho / \mathrm{d}h} = \frac{R \, T}{g_0 + R \lambda} \tag{18}\]

The lapse rate enters added to the gravitational term, and in the troposphere it is negative and therefore makes the denominator smaller. So $H_\rho$ exceeds $H_p$ there, which is to say density falls more slowly with altitude than pressure does, and the reason is that cooling air is denser at a given pressure, so the temperature drop partly offsets the pressure drop rather than compounding it. At sea level the two are 10,416 metres and 8,435. In an isothermal layer the lapse rate vanishes and the two coincide exactly, which the relations above reproduce at 15 kilometres to nine decimal places, the cheapest available check that the closed form is right. Across the layers where a trajectory spends its dynamic pressure the closed form agrees with a numerical difference of the density profile to better than two parts in a thousand million.

The Condition for Peak Dynamic Pressure

Differentiate the logarithm of the dynamic pressure along the trajectory and set it to zero. Using $\mathrm{d}h / \mathrm{d}t = v \sin \gamma$ and the definition of the density scale height,

\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t} \ln q = -\frac{v \sin \gamma}{H_\rho} + \frac{2}{v}\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} = 0 \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad v^2 \sin \gamma = 2 H_\rho \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} \tag{19}\]

Maximum dynamic pressure occurs where the vertical speed divided by the density scale height equals twice the relative rate of acceleration. The relation is exact, it holds for any atmosphere and any trajectory, and it contains nothing about the vehicle. It was checked at the computed peak of five ascent profiles and the worst disagreement between its two sides is 4.5 parts in a million, a residual set by the resolution of the golden-section search rather than by any error in the relation.

Written as a statement about competition it is easier to read. Dynamic pressure rises while the vehicle is accelerating and falls while the air is thinning, and it peaks at the moment those two rates balance. Climbing faster moves the peak earlier and lower, and accelerating harder moves it later and higher.

A Consistent Ascent Trajectory

The previous article fitted the altitude alone, as $h_b (t / t_b)^n$ with the exponent swept between 1.5 and 3.0, and used it inside a pressure integral where only the altitude enters. Dynamic pressure needs the altitude and the speed together, and choosing each independently does not produce a trajectory.

Taking that altitude law with an exponent of 2 alongside a speed law linear in time puts this vehicle at Mach 2.85 at 8.4 kilometres and returns a peak dynamic pressure of 190 kilopascal. That is about six times the 0.32 atmosphere a Space Shuttle ascent reached [max q], and it makes the drag fraction exceed one at every plausible ballistic coefficient. A drag fraction above one describes a vehicle that is decelerating, and this one was climbing. The model refuted itself on a quantity it was not asked about, and no failure costs a modeller less.

The repair is to stop choosing the altitude. A rocket flying a gravity turn [gravity turn] has its altitude fixed by the integral of the vertical component of its speed, so a speed law and a pitch program determine it, and the published cut-off altitude then fixes the remaining parameter instead of being assumed alongside it. Let $k$ be a pitch exponent, dimensionless.

\[\gamma(t) = \frac{\pi}{2}\left( 1 - \frac{t}{t_b} \right)^{k}, \qquad v(t) = v_b \left( \frac{t}{t_b} \right)^{p}, \qquad h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} v(s) \sin \gamma(s) \, \mathrm{d}s \tag{20}\]

The published reference mission gives liftoff at zero and main engine cut-off at 160 seconds, 75 kilometres and 2.6 kilometres per second [ABL Payload User’s Guide]. Requiring $h(t_b) = 75$ kilometres determines $k$ for each speed exponent, by bisection on a monotone function, and what is left is one swept assumption rather than two.

Speed exponent Pitch exponent solved Peak dynamic pressure Time of peak Altitude of peak Mach at peak Flight-path angle at peak
0.8 1.6444 92.23 kilopascal 25.04 second 7.912 kilometre 1.912 68.0 degree
1.0 1.3438 71.60 kilopascal 33.61 second 8.761 kilometre 1.792 65.6 degree
1.2 1.1242 60.36 kilopascal 41.98 second 9.424 kilometre 1.729 63.9 degree
1.5 0.8866 51.54 kilopascal 53.67 second 10.172 kilometre 1.691 62.6 degree
2.0 0.6264 45.86 kilopascal 70.30 second 10.995 kilometre 1.701 62.6 degree

Peak dynamic pressure is now 45.9 to 92.2 kilopascal, reached at 25.0 to 70.3 seconds, at 7.9 to 11.0 kilometres, at Mach 1.69 to 1.91. Those are of the order of the 0.32 atmosphere, about 32 kilopascal, that a Space Shuttle ascent reached [max q]. The spread is the cost of not knowing how the vehicle builds speed, and it is reported rather than hidden behind the central case.

Since $\rho c^2 = \kappa p_a$, the dynamic pressure needs only the ambient pressure and the Mach number. For the central profile, with a speed exponent of 1.0, the peak at 8,760.5 metres and Mach 1.792 lies in the troposphere, where $T_0 = 288.15$ kelvin, $p_0 = 101{,}325$ pascal and $\lambda = -0.0065$ kelvin per metre, so in kelvin and pascal

\[q = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \tfrac{1}{2} \kappa \, p_a M^2, \qquad T = 288.15 - 0.0065 \left( 8{,}760.5 \right) = 231.21, \qquad p_a = 101{,}325 \left( \frac{231.21}{288.15} \right)^{5.2559} = 31{,}853, \qquad q = \tfrac{1}{2} \left( 1.4 \right) \left( 31{,}853 \right) \left( 1.792 \right)^2 = 71{,}603 \tag{21}\]

which reproduces the 71.60 kilopascal of the table, the exponent being $-g_0 / (R \lambda)$.

One numerical coincidence should be defused before a reader finds it. For the central profile the peak sits at 8,761 metres, and the density scale height there, with $R = 287.053$ joule per kilogram kelvin, is

\[H_\rho = \frac{R \, T}{g_0 + R \lambda} = \frac{\left( 287.053 \right) \left( 231.21 \right)}{9.80665 - \left( 287.053 \right) \left( 0.0065 \right)} = 8{,}358, \qquad \frac{8{,}761}{8{,}358} = 1.048 \tag{22}\]

in metre, so the ratio is 1.048. The previous article reported a sea-level pressure scale height of 8,434.9 metres, and the inconsistent pairing of two power laws described above puts its peak dynamic pressure at an altitude of 8,434.5 metres, which looks like a theorem. It is not one. The two quantities are different functions of different variables evaluated at different altitudes, and the agreement arises from that inconsistent trajectory alone. Across the consistent family the ratio of peak altitude to local density scale height runs from 0.92 to 1.40 and is not a constant.

The Signal Is Collected Before the Confounder Arrives

Now the two histories can be laid against each other, and the result is the opposite of what the framing invites.

The altitude-compensation effect is driven by the pressure-time integral, because the previous article showed that a fixed nozzle’s whole atmospheric penalty is its exit area multiplied by that integral. Let $J$ be it, in pascal second.

\[J = \int_{0}^{t_b} p_a\left( t \right) \, \mathrm{d}t \tag{23}\]

The measurement difficulty is driven by the dynamic pressure instead. Both quantities are largest early, so the natural expectation is that they peak together and that the confounder is worst where the signal lives.

They do not peak together. On the consistent profiles, half the pressure-time integral is collected by 11.9 to 28.3 seconds, while dynamic pressure peaks at 25.0 to 70.3 seconds, which is 2.10 to 2.48 times later in every case.

Speed exponent Half the signal collected by Dynamic pressure peaks at Peak later by a factor of Dynamic pressure at the half-signal time Share of the signal already collected when it peaks
0.8 11.95 second 25.04 second 2.096 57.2 percent of its peak 83.6 percent
1.0 14.89 second 33.61 second 2.258 42.0 percent of its peak 87.7 percent
1.2 17.79 second 41.98 second 2.360 30.5 percent of its peak 90.4 percent
1.5 21.97 second 53.67 second 2.443 18.6 percent of its peak 93.0 percent
2.0 28.29 second 70.30 second 2.485 8.2 percent of its peak 95.3 percent

By the time dynamic pressure peaks, between 83.6 and 95.3 percent of the pressure-time integral has already been collected. And at the moment half the integral is in hand, dynamic pressure stands at only 8.2 to 57.2 percent of the value it will reach. Write $\chi$ for the share of the pressure-time integral collected by time $t$, dimensionless, $t_{1/2}$ for the time at which it reaches one half and $t_q$ for the time of peak dynamic pressure, both in second.

\[\chi\left( t \right) = \frac{1}{J} \int_{0}^{t} p_a\left( s \right) \mathrm{d}s, \qquad \chi\left( t_{1/2} \right) = \tfrac{1}{2}, \qquad \chi\left( t_q \right) = 0.836 \text{ to } 0.953, \qquad \frac{t_q}{t_{1/2}} = \frac{25.039}{11.946} = 2.096 \text{ to } \frac{70.295}{28.292} = 2.485 \tag{24}\]

So the experiment is better posed than the arithmetic of the error budget alone suggests. The seconds that carry the altitude-compensation signal are seconds in which the atmosphere is dense enough to matter thermodynamically and the vehicle is still slow enough that the drag force is a modest fraction of thrust. Pressure matters at low altitude and drag matters at high speed, and a rocket is at low altitude before it is at high speed. That separation is not an accident of this trajectory. It follows from the fact that ambient pressure depends on position while drag depends on position and on the square of speed, so the drag term is the later of the two to develop.

The separation weakens as the profile builds speed early, from a factor of 2.48 on the slowest-accelerating profile to 2.10 on the fastest, but the ordering never reverses across the family tried, and no profile in it puts the dynamic-pressure peak inside the window that carries half the signal.

What the Drag Fraction Depends On

The drag fraction has carried the argument so far and has not yet been written down in terms of anything a designer chooses. The omission needs repairing before the budget is read as a requirement, because the written form shows which unknowns matter and which cancel.

\[d \equiv \frac{D}{F} = \frac{q \, C_D A}{F} \tag{25}\]

Two groups turn that into a statement about the vehicle rather than about its absolute size. Let $m_0$ be the initial mass in kilogram, $\psi$ the initial thrust-to-weight ratio, dimensionless, and $B$ the ballistic coefficient in kilogram per square metre.

\[\psi \equiv \frac{F}{m_0 g_0}, \qquad B \equiv \frac{m_0}{C_D A} \tag{26}\] \[d = \frac{q}{\psi \, g_0 B} \tag{27}\]

The flight appears once, as the dynamic pressure, and the vehicle appears twice, as a thrust-to-weight ratio and a ballistic coefficient. Neither the mass nor the reference area survives on its own. The form is useful because a designer knows a thrust-to-weight ratio and a ballistic coefficient without being able to quote either of the quantities inside them, and because it separates what the trajectory does from what the vehicle is.

It does not let this article compute a number, and saying why is the point. The X-64A’s mass is not published, its drag coefficient is not published and its thrust is not published, so none of $\psi$, $B$ or $d$ can be evaluated. The budget below is therefore stated as a function of $d$ rather than at a value of it, and the comparison that matters is against the span of $d$ a vehicle of these proportions could plausibly occupy.

One thing the form does give without any of those numbers. Since $\psi$, $g_0$ and $B$ are constant through the burn to the accuracy that matters here, the drag fraction is proportional to the dynamic pressure, so its shape in time is the dynamic-pressure history and its ratio between two instants is theirs.

\[\frac{d\left( t_1 \right)}{d\left( t_2 \right)} = \frac{q\left( t_1 \right)}{q\left( t_2 \right)} \tag{28}\]

This proportionality licenses the comparison made below between the drag fraction during the seconds that carry the signal and its value at the peak, because the ratio of the two is a ratio of dynamic pressures and both of those are computed.

What Accuracy the Drag Model Has to Have

With the timing established, the budget can be read as a requirement rather than as an algebraic identity.

Drag fraction Drag-model accuracy Total thrust error Drag term alone Drag share of the variance Total error over a 5.3 percent effect
5 percent 5 percent 1.091 percent 0.250 percent 5.2 percent 0.206
5 percent 10 percent 1.174 percent 0.500 percent 18.1 percent 0.222
5 percent 25 percent 1.640 percent 1.250 percent 58.1 percent 0.309
10 percent 5 percent 1.124 percent 0.500 percent 19.8 percent 0.212
10 percent 10 percent 1.419 percent 1.000 percent 49.7 percent 0.268
10 percent 25 percent 2.695 percent 2.500 percent 86.1 percent 0.508
20 percent 5 percent 1.342 percent 1.000 percent 55.6 percent 0.253
20 percent 10 percent 2.191 percent 2.000 percent 83.3 percent 0.413
20 percent 25 percent 5.079 percent 5.000 percent 96.9 percent 0.958
30 percent 5 percent 1.692 percent 1.500 percent 78.6 percent 0.319
30 percent 10 percent 3.100 percent 3.000 percent 93.6 percent 0.585
30 percent 25 percent 7.541 percent 7.500 percent 98.9 percent 1.423

Read down the drag-share column and the character of the experiment changes as the drag fraction rises. At a drag fraction of one twentieth and a drag model good to five percent, the drag term contributes 5.2 percent of the variance and the measurement is an instrument problem. At a drag fraction of one fifth and a drag model good to a quarter, the drag term is 96.9 percent of the variance and the measurement is a drag problem with instruments attached.

Inverting the budget gives the requirement directly. Write $\beta$ for the share of the effect the drag term is allowed, dimensionless. For the drag term alone to be that share of an effect of size $\Delta$,

\[d \, \frac{\delta D}{D} \le \beta \Delta \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad \frac{\delta D}{D} \le \frac{\beta \Delta}{d} \tag{29}\]
Drag fraction For a tenth of the effect For a quarter For a half For all of it
5 percent 10.60 percent 26.50 percent 53.00 percent 106.00 percent
10 percent 5.30 percent 13.25 percent 26.50 percent 53.00 percent
20 percent 2.65 percent 6.62 percent 13.25 percent 26.50 percent
30 percent 1.77 percent 4.42 percent 8.83 percent 17.67 percent

The difficulty is that the requirement is hyperbolic in the drag fraction. At a drag fraction of one twentieth, holding the drag term to a tenth of the effect needs a drag model good to 10.6 percent, which this article judges achievable for a configuration that has been wind-tunnel tested. At a drag fraction of one fifth it needs 2.65 percent, and at three tenths it needs 1.77 percent. This article’s judgement, which no source cited here quantifies, is that a pre-flight drag model of a novel configuration is unlikely to be good to two percent, because predicting the drag of a body of revolution to a few percent through the transonic region is a demanding standard for any model built before flight.

The Drag Fraction at Which the Experiment Stops Working

The useful single number is the drag fraction at which the total error equals the effect being measured. Write $d_{\mathrm{crit}}$ for it, dimensionless, and $\Delta$ for the size of the effect as a fraction, dimensionless. The condition is the budget set equal to the effect.

\[\left( 1 - d_{\mathrm{crit}} \right)^{2} \left[ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^{2} + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^{2} \right] + d_{\mathrm{crit}}^{2} \left( \frac{\delta D}{D} \right)^{2} = \Delta^{2} \tag{30}\]

That is a quadratic in $d_{\mathrm{crit}}$ and it is solved by bisection rather than by formula, because the left side is monotone in $d_{\mathrm{crit}}$ wherever the drag-model error exceeds the instrument terms, and only in that regime is the question interesting. Solving it at fixed drag-model accuracy gives the following.

Drag-model accuracy Drag fraction at which the error equals 5.3 percent Drag fraction at which it equals 8.5 percent
5 percent above unity above unity
10 percent 0.5274 0.8498
25 percent 0.2090 0.3387
50 percent 0.1041 0.1690

A drag model good to five percent never breaks the experiment at any drag fraction below unity. A model good to ten percent breaks it at a drag fraction of 0.527. A model good to a quarter breaks it at 0.209, and a model good only to a half breaks it at 0.104.

The comparison that matters is against the drag fraction during the seconds that carry the signal, not against its peak. Dynamic pressure at the half-signal time is 8.2 to 57.2 percent of its peak value, so the drag fraction there is the same fraction of its peak. Even a peak drag fraction of three tenths, which would be high for a launch vehicle, gives between 0.025 and 0.17 during the window that carries half the effect. Against a critical value of 0.209 for a quarter-accurate drag model, that is inside the feasible region across most of the family and marginal at its fast end. By the ratio relation of the previous subsection,

\[d\left( t_{1/2} \right) = d\left( t_q \right) \frac{q\left( t_{1/2} \right)}{q\left( t_q \right)} = 0.30 \times 0.082 = 0.025 \quad \text{to} \quad 0.30 \times 0.572 = 0.172, \qquad \frac{57.20}{8.201} = 6.97 \tag{31}\]

So the verdict on the measurement is that it works, and that it works because of when the signal arrives rather than because of how good the instruments are. An accelerometer twice as good gains a factor of two on a term that is already small. Flying a profile that reaches altitude before it reaches speed buys a factor of about seven on the term that dominates, the last ratio above. The trajectory is the instrument.

And the vehicle’s shape works against that advantage. The drag fraction is proportional to $C_D A / m$, and this vehicle’s frontal area is 1.72 times its sibling’s at equal mass and equal drag coefficient, with a fineness ratio that probably makes its drag coefficient the higher of the two as well. The shape chosen to make the vehicle recoverable raises the one term in the error budget that no instrument on board can reduce. That is not a contradiction in the design. It is a trade, and naming it is the point of computing the budget.

Two Vehicles Cannot Be Differenced

One consequence of the laboratory’s sentence about separate vehicles deserves stating because it bears on what the programme could have learned.

The cleanest way to measure a five percent nozzle effect is not to measure thrust twice. It is to measure the difference. Fly the same vehicle on the same trajectory with two nozzles, and the drag model, the mass bookkeeping and the accelerometer calibration are common to both flights and cancel to first order in the difference. What survives is the quantity of interest, and a differential experiment can resolve an effect far smaller than either of its absolute measurements.

ARISE is not built that way. The laboratory put two teams on two vehicles of two designs [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future], and they differ in the dimension that matters most for the cancellation. The X-63A was to be a single-stage aerospike variant of a vehicle of fineness ratio 14.67, and the X-64A is a vehicle of fineness ratio about 5 [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE] [Invocon X-64]. Their drag models are not common terms and their difference does not cancel anything.

This is an inference about experiment design and it is marked as one. Neither document says the two vehicles were intended to be compared against one another, and there are good reasons to fund two independent attempts at a first flight that have nothing to do with differencing, chief among them that one of them might not fly. What can be said without inference is narrower. Two vehicles of different proportions, flown by different teams, produce two absolute measurements each limited by its own drag model, and the register’s identical descriptions give a reader no warning that the two results are not interchangeable.

Dependent Systems

The record names one subsystem of this vehicle and one property of its engine, and the systems that depend on them are reconstructed from those two facts. The subsystem is a set of four legs that serve as stabilising fins in flight and as landing gear on return [Invocon X-64]. The property is that the engine is to be highly instrumented [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. From the legs follow the static-margin requirement and the tip-over footprint, and from the instrumentation follow the sensor ring on the annulus and the data rate it produces. The recoverability that the legs make possible is where those two lines meet. No subsystem design, sensor count or telemetry capacity for this vehicle is published, so every quantity in this section is a requirement or a sweep rather than a specification.

Legs That Double as Fins

The one design feature the record describes is a set of four legs that are stabilising fins on the way up and landing gear on the way down [Invocon X-64]. That is two jobs with different optima on one set of hardware, and both jobs are governed by the same count.

What a Short Vehicle Costs in Static Margin

A fin-stabilised vehicle is statically stable when its centre of pressure lies aft of its centre of mass, and the convention states the separation in calibres, being multiples of the body diameter. Let $x_{cp}$ and $x_{cm}$ be the axial positions of the centre of pressure and the centre of mass in metre, $D_b$ the body diameter in metre, and $S_m$ the static margin in calibre, dimensionless.

\[S_m = \frac{x_{cp} - x_{cm}}{D_b} \tag{32}\]

The comparison below uses a margin of one calibre, and what one calibre costs depends entirely on how slender the vehicle is. Expressed as a fraction of the vehicle’s length, with $L$ the length in metre and $f = L / D_b$ the fineness ratio,

\[\frac{x_{cp} - x_{cm}}{L} = \frac{S_m}{f} \tag{33}\]

One calibre of margin on this vehicle is 20 percent of its length. One calibre on its sibling’s parent is 6.8 percent. The ratio is 2.93, the fineness ratio again, and it follows from published dimensions with no aerodynamics in it. A short vehicle has to move its centre of pressure nearly three times as far, measured against the only length it has, to obtain the same conventional margin.

So the legs have to be fins rather than merely being stowed alongside. A body of revolution generates little restoring moment, and slender-body theory quantifies how little. Let $C_{N\alpha}$ be the normal-force coefficient slope per radian, referenced to the frontal area, dimensionless.

\[C_{N\alpha,\,\mathrm{nose}} = 2, \qquad C_{N\alpha,\,\mathrm{body}} = 0 \tag{34}\]

The nose contributes a slope of two per radian and the cylindrical body contributes nothing at all, in inviscid slender-body theory and at small angle of attack. Both halves of that come from the 1967 report that made the method a convention [Barrowman 1967], which was read in full for this article. Its equation 3-66 gives the body normal-force coefficient derivative in subsonic flow as twice the ratio of the nose base area to the reference area, so a nose whose base is the reference area contributes two. And its derivation requires the body components to be slender and free of discontinuities in cross-sectional area or its derivative, so a constant-diameter cylinder contributes nothing. The nose contribution also acts near the front of the vehicle, forward of any plausible centre of mass, so the bare airframe is statically unstable and every scrap of restoring moment has to come from the aft surfaces.

The inviscid result is a floor and the viscous correction runs upward. The classical study of viscosity on slender inclined bodies shows the measured normal force exceeding the potential-flow value, the excess growing with angle of attack as crossflow separation develops [Allen and Perkins 1951]. So a real body contributes more restoring moment than two per radian implies, and the fin requirement computed from the inviscid figure is the conservative one. Any error therefore runs the way a designer would want, opposite to the way that would invalidate the argument. A vehicle whose landing gear is also its empennage has not bolted two functions onto one part for elegance. It has put the aerodynamic surface where a short vehicle needs it and then noticed it was also where the ground is.

This article does not compute the fin area required, because that needs the nose contour, the fin planform and a centre-of-mass history, none of which is public. What is computed is the requirement those unknowns have to satisfy, and the requirement is 2.93 times more demanding than it would be for the parent vehicle of the other designation.

The Footprint Polygon

On the ground the same four surfaces become a support polygon, and the mathematics is the same family as the companion article’s but a different member of it.

Let $N$ be the number of legs, dimensionless, equally spaced on a circle of radius $r$ in metre, and let $h_{cm}$ be the height of the centre of mass above the ground in metre. Tipping occurs when the centre of mass passes outside the convex hull of the contact points [convex hull]. If the vehicle tilts by $\theta$ in the direction $\phi$, the ground projection of the centre of mass moves $h_{cm} \tan \theta$, so the critical tilt is set by the distance from the axis to the hull boundary in that direction. Write $\ell(\phi)$ for that distance in metre, calling it the lever arm, because $\rho$ is already the atmospheric density above.

\[\tan \theta_{\mathrm{tip}}\left( \phi \right) = \frac{\ell\left( \phi \right)}{h_{cm}} \tag{35}\]

For a regular polygon with vertices at the legs, $\ell$ has a closed form. Let $a$ be the angle from the nearest leg, so that $\lvert a \rvert \le \pi / N$.

\[\ell\left( \phi \right) = \frac{r \cos\left( \pi / N \right)}{\cos\left( \pi / N - \lvert a \rvert \right)}, \qquad \ell_{\max} = r, \qquad \ell_{\min} = r \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{N} \right) \tag{36}\]

The lever arm is not the support function of the hull, and the two are easy to conflate. The support function [support function of a convex set] gives the distance from the axis to a supporting line perpendicular to a direction, where the lever arm gives the distance along a ray to the hull boundary. Let $h_s$ be the support function in metre, with the legs at angles $\theta_k = 2 \pi k / N$ in radian.

\[h_s\left( \phi \right) = \max_{k} \, r \cos\left( \theta_k - \phi \right) = r \cos a \tag{37}\]

The two agree only at the extremes. Both run from $r \cos(\pi / N)$ to $r$, so the anisotropy below is the same for either, and between those directions the lever arm is the smaller of the two because a ray reaches the boundary before the supporting line does. Tipping is a question about the boundary along a ray, so the lever arm is the right object, and a footprint that was not a regular polygon would separate them in range as well as in shape.

The lever arm is longest straight over a leg and shortest across the gap between two, because the legs are the vertices of the hull and the gaps are spanned by its edges.

One tempting construction gets this backwards. Measuring the angle to the nearest leg and dividing the inradius by its cosine produces a function with the right range and the wrong orientation, placing the short lever arm at a leg and the long one in the gap, which inverts the physical conclusion and makes a four-legged vehicle look most stable in the direction it is least stable in. A footprint is a hull and not a rosette. Evaluating the closed form at the two special directions and asking which gives the smaller number settles it in one line, a check needed because both orientations look plausible written down.

The Anisotropy Is the Same Closed Form the X-63A Article Derived

\[\frac{\ell_{\max}}{\ell_{\min}} = \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / N \right)} \tag{38}\]

Character for character, this is the ratio of best-direction to guaranteed control authority that the previous article derived for differential throttling of a ring of thrusters. The same regular polygon governs how evenly a ring of engines can steer and how evenly a ring of legs can stand.

Legs Sides of the footprint polygon Sides of the X-63 article’s control polygon at the same count Inradius over circumradius Tip-over anisotropy Best over worst
3 3 6 0.500000 2.000000 100.00 percent
4 4 4 0.707107 1.414214 41.42 percent
5 5 10 0.809017 1.236068 23.61 percent
6 6 6 0.866025 1.154701 15.47 percent
8 8 8 0.923880 1.082392 8.24 percent
12 12 12 0.965926 1.035276 3.53 percent

For four legs the anisotropy is exactly the square root of two. A four-legged vehicle tolerates 41.4 percent more tilt falling across a leg than falling between two, and a three-legged one tolerates exactly twice as much. Eight legs bring it to 8.2 percent and twelve to 3.5 percent, and the returns diminish as the cosine flattens.

\[\frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 3 \right)} = 2, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 4 \right)} = \sqrt{2} = 1.4142, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 8 \right)} = 1.0824, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 12 \right)} = 1.0353 \tag{39}\]

Why This Polygon Has N Sides and the X-63A’s Had N or 2N

The previous article found that its control polygon has $N$ sides for an even ring and $2N$ for an odd one, and that result has no counterpart here. The footprint polygon has exactly $N$ sides for every $N$.

Write $m_h$ for the number of sides of the footprint hull and $m_c$ for the number of sides of the X-63 article’s control polygon, both dimensionless.

\[m_h = N \quad \text{for every } N, \qquad m_c = \begin{cases} N, & N \text{ even} \\ 2N, & N \text{ odd} \end{cases} \tag{40}\]

The difference is the construction and not the geometry. The X-63 article’s object was a maximum over throttle patterns of a sum of $\max\left( \cos, 0 \right)$ terms, and that truncation puts a breakpoint wherever a module crosses the boundary of the forward half plane. For an odd ring those crossings interleave into two families and the count doubles. Here the object is the convex hull of the contact points, whose support function is piecewise linear with one piece per vertex, and there is no half-plane to cross. No truncation, no parity.

That contrast has a second layer which the X-63 article records. Which direction is extremal relative to the modules turns, for the control polygon, on the module count modulo four rather than on its parity. The footprint polygon has no such subtlety, and the extremal directions are the legs and the gaps between them for every count. The truncated object is complicated and the hull is simple, although the two share a closed form.

Tip Angles at the Published Diameter

The leg reach and the centre-of-mass height of a returning X-64A are not published, so both are swept. A body radius of 1.2 metres sets the lower bound on the footprint radius, since legs cannot retract inside the hull, and a 12 metre vehicle returning nearly empty puts its centre of mass low. In metre,

\[r \ge \frac{D_b}{2} = 1.2, \qquad \ell_{\min} = r \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = 0.8485 \quad \text{at} \quad r = 1.2, \qquad \ell_{\min} = 2.1213 \quad \text{at} \quad r = 3.0 \tag{41}\]
Footprint radius Centre-of-mass height Worst direction, across a gap Best direction, over a leg Shortest lever arm Longest lever arm

2.4 metre 5.0 metre 18.75 degree 25.64 degree 1.6971 metre 2.4000 metre
2.4 metre 6.0 metre 15.79 degree 21.80 degree 1.6971 metre 2.4000 metre
3.0 metre 3.0 metre 35.26 degree 45.00 degree 2.1213 metre 3.0000 metre

3.0 metre 6.0 metre 19.47 degree 26.57 degree 2.1213 metre 3.0000 metre

Across that sweep the worst-direction tilt tolerance runs from 8.05 to 35.26 degrees. The favourable corner, being legs reaching 3 metres on a vehicle whose centre of mass is 3 metres up, tolerates 35.26 degrees across a gap and 45.00 degrees over a leg. The unfavourable corner, legs no wider than the body on a vehicle whose mass sits at half its height, tolerates 8.05 degrees. A landing gear that reaches only to the body radius is not a landing gear. That arithmetic is why legs that the description says presumably rotate downward must also reach outward beyond the body [Invocon X-64].

\[\theta_{\mathrm{tip}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{\ell_{\min}}{h_{cm}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{0.8485}{6.0} = 8.05 \text{ degrees}, \qquad \tan^{-1} \frac{2.1213}{3.0} = 35.26 \text{ degrees}, \qquad \tan^{-1} \frac{\ell_{\max}}{h_{cm}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{3.0}{3.0} = 45.00 \text{ degrees} \tag{42}\]

The Limits of a Sensor Ring

The award requires a highly instrumented engine [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE], and an annular aerospike presents its measurands on a circle. A finite number of sensors on a circle is a sampling problem and sampling problems have exact answers.

What the flight was meant to observe was established in the previous article. The fact sheet names open wake, wake transition and closed wake as three regimes to be visited [ARISE and Fly], the base pressure of a truncated plug decides how much of the truncation loss is recovered, and the transition between two flow topologies is the kind of thing that can be unsteady or hysteretic. An ideal axisymmetric nozzle puts all of that in the zeroth azimuthal harmonic. A real one does not, and the departures are what a ring of sensors is for.

Expand the quantity measured around the annulus as a Fourier series in the azimuthal angle. Let $\vartheta$ be that angle in radian, $\mu$ the azimuthal harmonic index, dimensionless, and $A_\mu$ and $B_\mu$ the coefficients in whatever unit the measurand carries.

\[\Psi\left( \vartheta \right) = A_0 + \sum_{\mu = 1}^{\infty} \left[ A_\mu \cos \mu \vartheta + B_\mu \sin \mu \vartheta \right] \tag{43}\]

The harmonics are not interchangeable and each means something physical. The zeroth is the mean, the thrust-bearing quantity. The first is a net lateral resultant, or side load. The second is an ovalisation. Harmonics at the leg count and its multiples are whatever the legs themselves impose on the flow.

Sample at $N$ sensors equally spaced at $\vartheta_j = 2 \pi j / N$. The estimator for each coefficient is a sum over the sensors, and it makes the counting argument concrete.

\[\hat{A}_\mu = \frac{2}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \Psi\left( \vartheta_j \right) \cos \mu \vartheta_j, \qquad \hat{B}_\mu = \frac{2}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \Psi\left( \vartheta_j \right) \sin \mu \vartheta_j \tag{44}\]

The counting is the sampling theorem applied to a circle rather than to a line, and the theorem is cited from its original statements instead of an encyclopaedia’s summary of them [Shannon 1949] [Nyquist 2002]. Neither was read for this article and both are cited at second hand. What makes the circular case finite rather than a limit is that the domain is compact, so the harmonics are indexed by integers and the count is exact where the line’s version is a bandwidth condition.

Each sensor contributes one number, so $N$ sensors deliver $N$ numbers and no more. Recovering the mean costs one of them and recovering each harmonic costs two, being a cosine coefficient and a sine coefficient, so the harmonics resolvable in both phases are bounded by a count rather than by anything physical.

\[1 + 2 \mu_{\max} \le N \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad \mu_{\max} = \left\lfloor \frac{N - 1}{2} \right\rfloor \tag{45}\]

And the harmonics above that limit are not lost but misread [aliasing] [discrete Fourier transform]. The discrete transform sees harmonic $\mu$ as harmonic $\mu \bmod N$, folded into the resolvable range.

\[\mu \; \longmapsto \; \min\left( \mu \bmod N, \; N - \left( \mu \bmod N \right) \right) \tag{46}\]
Sensors on the ring Harmonics resolved in both phases Harmonic resolved in one phase only Harmonic that aliases onto the mean Sensors needed for a four-lobed pattern
3 0 to 1 none 3 9
4 0 to 1 2 4 9
5 0 to 2 none 5 9
6 0 to 2 3 6 9
8 0 to 3 4 8 9
12 0 to 5 6 12 9

Recovering both phases of harmonic $\mu$ needs $2\mu + 1$ sensors. A side load needs three. An ovalisation needs five. A four-lobed pattern needs nine. An even sensor count resolves the harmonic at half that count in one phase only, so four sensors see an ovalisation aligned with them and are blind to the same ovalisation rotated by forty-five degrees.

Four Sensors Cannot See Four Legs

This vehicle’s geometry produces the sharp case.

\[\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \cos\left( N \, \vartheta_j + \varphi \right) = \cos \varphi \qquad \text{for every } N \text{ and every } \varphi \tag{47}\]

Harmonic $N$ sampled at $N$ points has exactly the same discrete mean as harmonic zero. Not approximately, and not for particular phases. The sum above was evaluated at five sensor counts and returns 1 at zero phase and one half at a phase of sixty degrees, the cosine of the phase in both cases, matching harmonic zero term for term.

Sensors Discrete mean of harmonic zero Discrete mean of harmonic equal to the sensor count The same at a phase of sixty degrees Cosine of sixty degrees
3 1.000000 1.000000 0.500000 0.500000
4 1.000000 1.000000 0.500000 0.500000
5 1.000000 1.000000 0.500000 0.500000
6 1.000000 1.000000 0.500000 0.500000
8 1.000000 1.000000 0.500000 0.500000

This vehicle has four legs, and four legs impose a disturbance whose leading azimuthal content is harmonic four. Four wakes, four sets of shed vorticity, four interference regions where a surface meets the body. If such a vehicle carried four pressure taps on its annulus, aligned with its legs as the natural symmetry invites, that four-lobed pattern would be read as a uniform shift in base pressure. The instrument would report a change in the thrust-bearing mean when what had changed was a four-lobed asymmetry contributing nothing to axial thrust.

The failure mode is worse than blindness because it is not silent. A sensor set that cannot see a harmonic returns zero for it and a careful analyst notices the gap. A sensor set that aliases a harmonic onto the mean returns a plausible number in the channel that matters most, and nothing in the data shows that it came from the wrong place.

The sensor count of the ARISE engine is not public, so the argument here concerns sensor rings in general and leaves this hardware unassessed. What can be said without inference is that the count must not equal the leg count, nor any divisor of it, and that nine sensors are needed to resolve a four-lobed pattern in both phases while five suffice to distinguish it from the mean. A designer would want the second number, which is also the cheaper.

One reassurance falls out of the same arithmetic. The regimes the flight exists to measure are changes in the mean, and the mean is the one harmonic every sensor count recovers. An undersampled ring measures the wake transition correctly and misattributes the asymmetry. That ordering suits this programme’s primary objective and defeats anybody hoping to learn about side loads from the same data.

Highly Instrumented, in Bits Per Second

The word the award uses is highly instrumented [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. The phrase is qualitative and the constraint behind it is quantitative, and writing that constraint down explains the vehicle’s most distinctive feature.

Let $n_c$ be the number of channels, dimensionless, $f_s$ the per-channel sample rate in hertz, $b$ the bits per sample, dimensionless, and $\mathcal{R}$ the aggregate rate in bit per second.

\[\mathcal{R} = n_c f_s b, \qquad V = \frac{\mathcal{R} \, t_b}{8} \tag{48}\]

where $V$ is the volume written over a burn in byte.

Channels Sample rate Bits Aggregate rate Written over a 160 second burn Written over a 600 second flight
100 1,000 hertz 12 1.2 megabit per second 0.024 gigabyte 0.090 gigabyte
200 5,000 hertz 16 16.0 megabit per second 0.320 gigabyte 1.200 gigabyte
500 10,000 hertz 16 80.0 megabit per second 1.600 gigabyte 6.000 gigabyte
1000 20,000 hertz 16 320.0 megabit per second 6.400 gigabyte 24.000 gigabyte
2000 50,000 hertz 16 1600.0 megabit per second 32.000 gigabyte 120.000 gigabyte

Five hundred channels at ten kilohertz and sixteen bits is eighty megabits per second and 1.6 gigabytes over a 160 second burn. That case is the middle row of the table, and a modest one.

The sample rate is not free to choose, because the engine sets it. The X-63A article recovered a combustion instability at 4.5 kilohertz from the manufacturer’s incident report [Flight 2 Static Fire Update], and the first tangential mode of a thrust chamber is the kind of phenomenon a highly instrumented engine exists to observe. Sampling theory puts the floor at nine kilohertz and practice puts it several times higher, because a mode at the Nyquist limit is detectable and not characterisable. So the ten kilohertz row is below what this engine’s published instability requires, and the twenty kilohertz row, at 320 megabits per second and 6.4 gigabytes, is nearer a realistic figure for the channels that matter.

The deficit is best expressed as a ratio. Let $\mathcal{R}_\ell$ be the downlink capacity in bit per second and $\eta_\ell$ the deficit, dimensionless.

\[\eta_\ell = \frac{\mathcal{R}}{\mathcal{R}_\ell} = \frac{n_c f_s b}{\mathcal{R}_\ell} \tag{49}\]

The volume is trivial and the rate is not. No telemetry capacity for either ARISE vehicle is published, so the comparison below is against a range rather than a number, and the range is an assumption of this article. The range assumed is one half to twenty megabits per second, and the table gives the deficit across that span instead of at one value.

Downlink capacity 200 channels at 5 kilohertz 500 channels at 10 kilohertz 1000 channels at 20 kilohertz
0.5 megabit per second 32.0 160.0 640.0
1.0 megabit per second 16.0 80.0 320.0
5.0 megabit per second 3.2 16.0 64.0
10.0 megabit per second 1.6 8.0 32.0
20.0 megabit per second 0.8 4.0 16.0

1.6 gigabytes is a component that costs nothing and weighs nothing. Eighty megabits per second through the atmosphere from a moving vehicle is a programme. So an expendable vehicle that wants this much data must either throw most of it away before transmission, which means deciding in advance what matters, or accept losing it with the vehicle.

Why the Vehicle Comes Back

The recoverability is the answer to the bandwidth arithmetic.

The lead contractor is an instrumentation house whose award record is wireless data acquisition, impact detection and radiation monitoring [USAspending]. The award scope is a highly instrumented engine [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. The vehicle is described as recoverable, landing on four legs [Invocon X-64]. Those three facts are usually read as three features. They are one decision.

Recovery converts a telemetry problem into a memory problem. A vehicle that comes back can record at full rate onboard and be read out on the ground, so the link carries only what is needed to fly the mission and to reconstruct it if the vehicle is lost. The constraint moves from bits per second, where it is expensive, to bytes, where in this decade it is free. An instrumentation company asked to gather large amounts of data through an entire trajectory, and free to choose the vehicle, has an obvious reason to choose one that returns.

The inference is marked as an inference and its weakness is that the record is silent on the point. No document consulted states that recoverability was chosen for data return. The contractor’s release, as reported, describes the legs and the dimensions and does not give a rationale [Invocon X-64]. Other reasons for recovery are at least as plausible and some are stated elsewhere in the programme’s literature, chief among them that the portfolio’s goals are cost and schedule and that a reusable article amortises both, which the president of the lead company named directly in saying the technology has potential for a reusable capability [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE].

What the arithmetic establishes is not the motive but the magnitude. Whatever recovery was chosen for, it removes a factor of sixteen to eighty between what five hundred channels at ten kilohertz produce and what a link of one to five megabits per second carries. A programme that wanted the data and not the vehicle would have had to make that factor disappear some other way, and the usual other way is to record less.

And the same shape that makes recovery possible raised the drag term in the error budget, as the drag-model requirement derived earlier shows. The design recovers its data at the cost of the measurement’s hardest term, and whether that trade is favourable depends on the timing result above rather than on any property of the vehicle.

The Flight Test Record

No source consulted announces the cancellation of the X-64A, and no source announces a flight either.

The encyclopedia entry, last revised on 11 August 2024, states in its own voice that the status and progress of the programme at the time of writing is unknown [Invocon X-64]. The award was a three-year agreement made in December 2019, so its term expired at the end of 2022 [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. The designations were allocated on 20 April 2022, eight months before that expiry and with no vehicle flown [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum]. The laboratory’s background document of September 2022 still describes ARISE in the future tense, saying the partnership will fly the first modular aerospike engine [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future].

The asymmetry with the sibling designation is the interesting part.

The X-63A’s contractor was followed to its end as a launch company in the previous article. The RS1 failed 10.87 seconds into its first orbital attempt in January 2023 [RS1, Gunter’s Space Page], the second vehicle was lost on its pad after a static fire in July 2024 [Flight 2 Static Fire Update], the company announced in November 2024 that it was leaving the commercial launch market [RS1, Gunter’s Space Page], and in February 2025 it renamed itself Long Wall and turned to missile defence [ABL Space renamed Long Wall]. ABL Space Systems stopped being what it was.

Invocon did not, and the record gives no sign that it had ever been a launch company to stop being. Its current self-description is wireless sensing, distributed processing and high-precision instrumentation for extreme environments, with product families in power systems, telemetry and signal conversion, and detection and initiation [Invocon] [Invocon, About Us]. Its pages state that its instrumentation flies on launch vehicles. It does not say it builds them, and it lists no launch vehicle among its products. Nothing on the pages consulted mentions ARISE, the aerospike, or the X-64.

So the two halves of one allocation ended in two different ways and neither ends in a recorded flight. One contractor lost two of its RS1 rockets and left the launch business [RS1, Gunter’s Space Page]. The other appears to have returned to the business it was always in. The register carries both numbers still, with the same hundred and one characters against each [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum].

That this programme asked an instrumentation supplier to become a launch-vehicle prime is not a criticism and the record does not support one. The other transaction instrument exists to bring in companies that would not otherwise bid, the announcement says so in as many words, and a small business leading a rocket programme with a propulsion subcontractor of KT Engineering’s record is a defensible structure [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE] [USAspending]. What the record shows is the arrangement, not its wisdom.

Comparison With Ground Prediction

No flight is recorded, so flight returned nothing to set beside any prediction made on the ground, as the flight test record above sets out. What can be stated is what was predicted or claimed before flight, and every such item has nothing from flight to stand against it.

The laboratory claimed a first. Its background document says the partnership will fly the first ever modular aerospike engine [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. No flight of the X-64A is recorded in any source this article consulted, so this vehicle neither confirmed nor refuted the claim.

The portfolio stated its targets in time and money rather than in thrust. The modular architecture was to cut development time by seventy percent and development cost by fifty percent [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. Those are predictions about a programme rather than about a flight, and the record holds no development time or cost for this vehicle to compare them with, the dollar value of the agreement itself being unknown.

The performance prediction is analytical and comes from the sibling article. The X-63A article computed that an ideal altitude-compensating nozzle delivers between 5.3 and 8.5 percent more first-stage impulse than the best fixed nozzle on the parent vehicle’s reference trajectory. This vehicle was to measure that effect, and no source consulted records that it was measured.

This article’s own predictions concern the measurement, and they too stand unchecked. The sizing section predicts that the instrument floor alone consumes between a tenth and two fifths of a 5.3 percent effect, that dynamic pressure peaks 2.10 to 2.48 times later than the moment half the pressure-time integral is collected, and that even a peak drag fraction of three tenths leaves a drag model good to a quarter inside the feasible region across most of the trajectory family. The account of dependent systems predicts that four equally spaced taps on the annulus would read the four-lobed disturbance of four legs as a change in the mean. Each of those could have been tested by one instrumented flight, and no such flight is recorded.

No wind-tunnel result, contractor analysis or simulation of this vehicle is cited anywhere in this article, and its contours, mass, thrust and drag coefficient are not public. What the record supports is a list of claims and derived requirements beside a flight record that is empty.

What the Data Changed

Four results in this subject run against the answer a first model or a first expectation gives.

A trajectory built from two independent power laws refutes itself on a quantity it was not asked about. It returns a peak dynamic pressure of 190 kilopascal and a drag fraction above one, which describes a decelerating vehicle, and the consistent model lets the altitude follow from the vertical speed, turning the published cut-off altitude from a second assumption into a constraint.

The timing result reversed the expected answer. Both the signal and the dynamic pressure are largest early, so the natural expectation is that the confounder peaks where the signal lives. It does not, because a rocket reaches altitude before it reaches speed, and the ratio $t_q / t_{1/2}$ displayed under The Signal Is Collected Before the Confounder Arrives is 2.10 to 2.48 on every profile.

The support polygon is easy to compute inside out. Dividing the inradius by the cosine of the angle to the nearest leg says a four-legged vehicle is most stable falling between two legs. The footprint is the convex hull of the contact points, so the legs are its vertices and the gaps are spanned by its edges, and the truth is the reverse.

And the aliasing hazard is not where one would look first. The obvious worry is a sensor count that cannot resolve a side load, but a side load is a first harmonic and needs only three sensors, so almost any ring suffices. The sharp case is not the smallest harmonic but the one equal to the sensor count, because harmonic $N$ sampled at $N$ points has exactly the discrete mean of harmonic zero. Four legs impose a four-lobed disturbance and four sensors are precisely the count that reports it as a change in the thrust-bearing mean.

The survey behind this article holds 3,314 research records, each a distinct work, and The Source Base below states how they are admitted. 1,499 of them, 45.2 percent, are report primaries under the identifier rule set out there. 3,147 records carry a usable year, running from 1928 to 2026 with a median of 2003. 2,776 of those, 88.2 percent, predate or share the year in which both designations were allocated.

Every record in that total is cited below. The clusters are ordered with the specific before the general ones they are special cases of, and each record is counted once, in the cluster its title belongs to, so a broad cluster does not absorb the records of a narrow one.

Measuring a rocket in flight, which is the entire claim

The keystone. Determining thrust and performance in flight and on the stand, including the air-breathing in-flight thrust literature whose method this article sets aside, postflight reconstruction of trajectories from onboard accelerometers and flight data, and the thrust stands that calibrate the measurement.

None of the 18 titles in the survey that name in-flight thrust names a rocket. The discipline that says thrust is calculated rather than measured grew up on turbojets and turbofans, which is why its method of modelling the gas path is not the method this article uses.

Rocket engine design, performance and history

Chemical rocket engines treated as whole engines, their design, cycles, performance and histories, admitted when they fit none of the narrower propulsion clusters above.

Where the Framing Breaks Down

The vehicle is two published numbers and this article has built a great deal on them. A height of about 12 metres and a diameter of about 2.4 metres, both approximate, both reported at second hand from a release this article could not retrieve. Every geometric conclusion here inherits that provenance, including the fineness ratio, the frontal-area comparison and the static-margin argument. If either figure is wrong by twenty percent the fineness ratio moves by at most a quarter, and the parent vehicle remains 2.35 times as slender in the worst case, so the ordering against the sibling vehicle survives, and no stronger robustness claim is warranted.

\[f = \frac{12.0}{2.4} = 5.00, \qquad \frac{1.2 \times 12.0}{2.4} = 6.00, \qquad \frac{12.0}{0.8 \times 2.4} = 6.25, \qquad \frac{0.8 \times 12.0}{2.4} = 4.00, \qquad \frac{12.0}{1.2 \times 2.4} = 4.17, \qquad \frac{14.67}{6.25} = 2.35 \tag{50}\]

The error budget is a structure and not a prediction. It sets out how the uncertainty in recovered thrust depends on the drag fraction and the drag-model accuracy. It cannot say what the drag fraction was, because that needs the vehicle’s mass, its drag coefficient and its thrust, none of which is public, and the budget is therefore presented as a function of the quantity it cannot evaluate.

The accelerometer identity assumes zero angle of attack and states as much where it is derived, but the error budget does not carry a term for the departure. A gravity turn flies at small angle of attack by design, so the omission is small and it is not zero.

The three errors are treated as independent and they are not. A mass bookkeeping error and a thrust error share a cause if the propellant flow measurement is the source of both, and an accelerometer’s scale-factor error is correlated across the whole flight rather than random in time. Root-sum-square is the right first move and the wrong last one, and a real uncertainty analysis for this experiment would carry a covariance matrix that this article does not have.

The sampling result assumes the sensors are equally spaced and that the field is a function of angle alone. An unequally spaced ring has different aliasing and generally better, and unequal spacing is a standard remedy for that reason. A field varying along the annulus and across it needs a two-dimensional treatment. The four-lobed claim also assumes the legs are the dominant azimuthal feature, and a real vehicle has umbilicals, seams and one more of whatever the plumbing requires.

The telemetry arithmetic uses plausible channel counts and a plausible link capacity, and neither is published for either ARISE vehicle. The rates and volumes scale linearly in the assumed channel count and sample rate, and the deficit scales inversely in the assumed link capacity. The conclusion that survives those assumptions is that the deficit exceeds one in every cell of the table but one, the smallest instrument set on the widest link, and reaches a factor of tens to hundreds on links of one megabit per second or less, while the specific factor does not survive them at all.

And the recovery inference is the weakest thing here. That a recoverable vehicle solves a bandwidth problem is arithmetic. That the bandwidth problem is why the vehicle is recoverable is a guess about intent, and the programme’s stated interest in reusability for its own sake is at least as good an explanation.

The Source Base

The Research Survey

The research survey holds 3,314 records drawn from NASA’s Technical Reports Server, the Defense Technical Information Center and the journal and conference literature indexed by Crossref, of which 1,499 are report primaries, being 45.2 percent, by the identifier rule set out under The Definition of Primary. The median publication year is 2003.

The Definition of Primary

Primacy is a property of the document, and this survey derives it from the identifier. A record is a report primary when its address is on the NASA Technical Reports Server or it carries a digital object identifier under the 10.21236 prefix, which Crossref registers for Defense Technical Information Center reports. The reports of the Linear Aerospike SR-71 Experiment, the uncertainty evaluation for the Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator and the lead contractor’s own instrumentation reports are report primaries under that rule. The rule does not reach the recommended practices on in-flight thrust determination, whose identifiers carry the 10.4271 prefix, although they are the field’s own statements of its method, so 45.2 percent is a lower bound on how much of the survey is first-hand.

Thin Subjects

Six subjects that this article’s derivations depend on have thin literatures. Each count below is the number of research records in this survey whose title carries at least one of the listed terms, with a hyphen read as a space. Where a row joins two groups of terms with the word together, a title must carry a term from each group.

Subject Title terms counted Records
the tip-over stability of a vehicle standing on legs tip over, tipover, overturn, overturning, topple, toppling 0
the static margin and the centre of pressure static margin, center of pressure, centre of pressure 2
the peak of dynamic pressure on an ascent maximum dynamic pressure, peak dynamic pressure, max q 2
thrust recovered from an accelerometer accelerometer, accelerometers, specific force together with thrust 0
azimuthal modes of a nozzle, jet or chamber azimuthal, circumferential together with nozzle, nozzles, jet, jets, combustor, chamber, duct 5
single-sample uncertainty analysis single sample 0

No title names the tip-over of a vehicle standing on legs. Landing legs or landing gear appear in 12 titles, on leg deployment, touchdown loads, landing dynamics, gear design and the health monitoring of aircraft gear, so the footprint condition of The Footprint Polygon rests on the geometry derived there rather than on a published treatment.

The static margin of a short rocket is a number the literature uses and rarely studies. 2 titles name a static margin or a centre of pressure, one of them a sounding rocket’s margin during launch, so the calibre cost computed under What a Short Vehicle Costs in Static Margin stands on two published lengths rather than on a survey of short vehicles.

The peak of dynamic pressure is a condition met in passing. 2 titles name the maximum of dynamic pressure, one on the winds in the region of that maximum and one on an abort flight test placed there, and neither states the condition for the peak that this article derives.

No title names thrust recovered from an accelerometer, and none names single-sample uncertainty analysis. The identity at the centre of this article and the single-flight character of a demonstrator are both treated here from first principles and from the methodology papers in the reference list.

Azimuthal modes are studied in jets, ducts and chambers, and not on a nozzle. 5 titles join an azimuthal or circumferential mode to a jet, a duct or a chamber, and none of them names a nozzle, so the aliasing result of Four Sensors Cannot See Four Legs has no published counterpart for an annular plug.

What the Survey Admits

A record is admitted only when a person reading its title finds it on this article’s subject, meaning that the title bears on a subject the argument above uses. Much of this subject’s vocabulary also names something else, and a record that shares only such a word is excluded. Sounding rocket also names the science those rockets carried, being X-ray, ultraviolet and solar telescopes, auroral and magnetospheric plasma probes and microgravity experiments, rather than the rockets themselves. Telemetry also names the tracking of animals and fish, the monitoring of patients, motor racing and the observability of software. Trajectory reconstruction also names the reconstruction of road vehicle journeys. Aliasing also names effects in images, optics and the retina, and azimuthal mode also names the modes of lasers, antennas and plasma waves. Transducer also names the multiport networks of microwave measurement. The plug nozzle is also a jet-noise suppressor for turbofans, and aerospike also names a database product and an ejector in desalination plants, while the drag-reducing nose spike that shares the name is kept with the drag literature. Thrust stands for electric thrusters, nuclear and other non-chemical engines, and the materials and fabrication of engine parts share the propulsion vocabulary and none of this article’s argument. Uncertainty propagation in measuring sciences far from flight, such as nuclear assay, photovoltaics, hydrology and hardness testing, and structural health monitoring of bridges and buildings, apply this article’s methods to subjects it does not treat. Correction, retraction and award notices and supplementary data files are excluded as well, because a survey counts research works.

Some records of doubtful relevance are kept. The payload subsystems of sounding rockets, such as their timers, attitude control and recovery hardware, are kept because they are parts of the vehicle. Plug nozzles studied on turbojets are kept because their thrust across a range of pressure ratios is the behaviour altitude compensation exploits. Microphone and antenna arrays that name no application are kept because the counting argument of The Limits of a Sensor Ring is the same for them, and telemetry titles that name a vehicle without saying which kind are kept because most are flight systems. A reader may weigh each accordingly.

The last cluster has its own admission rule. It admits a record whose title is on a chemical rocket engine as a whole, its design, cycle, performance or history, and that fits none of the narrower propulsion clusters before it. It holds 113 records, 3.4 percent of the survey.

Reviews of books, reference and definition entries and notices are not admitted, and a document deposited twice is admitted once. An authored encyclopedia article of more than two pages and a chapter of a textbook are research works and are kept.

Every research title has been read for relevance, so the off-topic share that remains is a matter of reading judgement. A reading of titles cannot show that a work is relevant in substance, so this is a statement about titles only.

The Homonyms of This Subject’s Vocabulary

The vocabulary of measurement belongs to every field that measures, and a search of the Crossref index for this subject’s terms shows how much of it other fields own. The collisions are worse than those of the sibling subject and worse in a different way. The X-63 article’s central nouns are owned by other fields, and this subject’s are owned by other languages and by other species.

fin returns Fin de siecle, fin d'un monde four times over, and fins returns Les fins de traitement and the fins of a fossil fish called Robustichthys. The word for this vehicle’s stabilising surfaces is owned by French and by ichthyology. static margin is owned by static noise margin in six-transistor static memory cells, so the aerodynamic stability metric is buried under a semiconductor one. tip-over stability returns wheeled and tracked mobile manipulators in every one of ten results. reusability is software reusability, program transformations and a set of reusability guidelines from 1990. recovery is heat-recovery ventilators and a recovery room. aliasing and Nyquist are dictionary headwords. transducer is ultrasonics and an interface standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

And the author of the method every model rocketeer uses returns nothing. Barrowman gives context-aware random numbers, a book on reading the short story, and gastrointestinal lymphatics twice, while the reports server holds the 1967 report under its title. A method that circulated as a report and a handbook rather than as a paper has no presence in an index of papers, and the absence reflects the index, not the method.

One term returns clean and on subject. landing legs returns leg design for propulsive rocket landing and landing simulations for reusable launch vehicles, both recent and both squarely on this article’s question. The live literature on this vehicle’s most distinctive feature is findable under its plainest name.

2 terms return nothing at all from that index, being Invocon and Troy7. The absence is a fact about the index and not about the team. NASA’s Technical Reports Server holds three reports that carry an Invocon affiliation, on a wireless vacuum sensor system [Krug et al. 2013], a microminiature surface acoustic wave wireless instrumentation system [Heermann and Krug 2004] and damage detection in inflatable and deployable structures [Brandon et al. 2009], and a NASA evaluation of the company’s distributed impact detector [Prosser and Madaras 2010]. All four are instrumentation and impact detection, and none concerns a launch vehicle, so the second archive tells the award record’s story of the company, and the programme itself still has to be read from an award record and a register.

What the Award Record Holds

The federal award reporting system holds nothing under the programme’s names. Searched across 5 families of award type, being procurement contracts, indefinite delivery vehicles, grants, direct payments and other financial assistance, X-64A, ARISE aerospike, Aerospike Rocket Integration and Suborbital Experiment and Affordable Responsive Modular Rocket each return nothing in any family. The previous article found the same silence from the other side of the same allocation, and the announcement explains it, because the instrument was an other transaction agreement and an other transaction does not appear where procurement contracts appear.

What did return is the three companies’ histories, and they divide the work, as the table and the account of the spellings Troy7 and Troy 7 under The Team in the Award Record set out.

Which Clusters Are Thin in Reports, and Why

The report-primary fraction is 45.2 percent overall and it runs from 15.2 to 100.0 percent across the clusters, a spread wide enough that a single figure would hide the interesting part. The test that explains such a spread is to ask which publisher holds each thin cluster, rather than to treat thinness as a shortfall in the record.

The thin clusters belong to other publishers and the rich ones to government laboratories. The largest single source of each of the thinnest three, being the clusters on hybrid rocket engines, on launch-vehicle design and cost, and on recovery and reuse, is doi:2514, a conference and journal publisher rather than a report series. None of the three is a subject government laboratories wrote report series about.

Apart from this vehicle’s own 5 records, the richest cluster is the Space Launch System, 70 of whose 71 records the reports server holds. Of the clusters on this team’s trade, telemetry and data systems reaches 72.2 percent, with 444 of its records served by the reports server, and in-flight measurement reaches 60.8 percent. Telemetry, data acquisition and in-flight performance determination are subjects the space agency and the services documented in report series for decades, and that history explains why this article’s primary fraction is high where its predecessor’s was low.

And the median years make the same point from the other direction. Telemetry and data systems has a median year of 1990 and sensor arrays and sampling has 2015, a gap of 25 years. The report literature in this survey is old and the journal literature is recent, so a high primary fraction and a recent median are in tension by construction rather than by any choice made here.

What This Article Read in Full

Six primary documents were retrieved, saved and read end to end, and every quotation in this article comes from one of them. They are the laboratory’s background document on its rocket propulsion organisation, cleared in September 2022, the award announcement as reprinted verbatim by the base newspaper, the encyclopedia entry for this designation, and the parent vehicle’s payload user’s guide, which the previous article read and which supplies the reference trajectory and the comparison dimensions. The other two are the 1967 report that is the centre-of-pressure method every later treatment rests on, whose equation 3-66 gives the body normal-force derivative displayed earlier, and the 1951 study of viscosity on slender inclined bodies that shows the inviscid figure to be a floor. Four further primaries are cited from their abstracts alone, as the Epistemic State below explains. The contractor’s release about the contract award was not retrieved. The live company site no longer carries it and the archive returned no capture, so the vehicle’s dimensions and its four legs are cited at second hand from the entry that names that release as its source, and every geometric conclusion in this article inherits that provenance.

The laboratory’s background document is reached through the encyclopedia entry’s source list. It is a public-affairs document on a laboratory web site and not a report with an identifier, so neither report server nor the bibliographic index holds it. A source list at the foot of a secondary is a retrieval channel, and this one produced the sentence this article is built on.

Epistemic State

Facts, taken from primary documents and stated as they appear there. The designation, its allocation date of 20 April 2022, the three contractor names, the sponsor cell, the engines cell and the description identical to the X-63A’s come from the register [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum]. That each company has its own launch vehicle and chosen approach, that ABL’s vehicle is the X-63 and Invocon’s the X-64, that the arrangement is a public private partnership, that the portfolio seeks a seventy percent reduction in development time and a fifty percent reduction in cost, and the dates and goals of the predecessor programmes come from the laboratory’s background document [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. The December 2019 award date, the three-year term, the other transaction instrument, the scope wording including highly instrumented, the description of the lead contractor as a veteran-owned small business providing turnkey instrumentation, the naming of the two subcontractors and the quotation from the company’s president come from the award announcement [AFRL awards agreements under ARISE]. The parent vehicle’s dimensions and reference mission come from its payload user’s guide [ABL Payload User’s Guide]. The award counts, the award identifiers, the dollar figures and the difference between the spellings Troy7 and Troy 7 were read from the federal award reporting system [USAspending].

Reported at second hand, and said to be. The vehicle’s height of about 12 metres, its diameter of about 2.4 metres, its recoverability and its four legs functioning as stabilising fins are reported by the encyclopedia entry, which names the contractor’s release as its source [Invocon X-64]. This article did not retrieve that release, as noted under What This Article Read in Full.

Four further sources are used from their abstracts alone. The reports server offers no document for the two reviews of in-flight thrust determination, for the uncertainty methodology, or for the XB-70 drag measurement [In-flight thrust determination] [Uncertainty of in-flight thrust determination] [Uncertainty methodology] [Techniques for determining propulsion system forces]. What this article quotes from them is what their abstracts state, and an abstract is a primary statement of a paper’s claims and not the paper. That matters most for the criticism this article makes of its own error budget, which rests on a list of categories an abstract enumerates rather than on the treatment behind it. And the two statements of the sampling theorem are cited without being read [Shannon 1949] [Nyquist 2002], the second of them from a later reprint rather than the 1928 original.

Two primaries were read in full and both bear on a displayed relation, the 1967 report behind the slender-body slopes [Barrowman 1967] and the 1951 study showing the inviscid figure to be a floor [Allen and Perkins 1951]. The scan of the 1951 study is of poor quality and nothing is quoted from it verbatim.

One limitation of this article’s central apparatus. The error budget treats three contributions as independent random terms combined in quadrature, where the methodology the in-flight thrust field settled on separates bias from precision and carries a model bias error term [Uncertainty methodology]. So what this article presents is a sensitivity analysis and not an uncertainty statement, for the reasons given under And the Established Methodology Carries a Term This Article’s Budget Does Not.

Derivations, which follow from the facts by mathematics and are checked numerically. That an accelerometer measures thrust minus drag over mass and is blind to gravity is exact. The error budget for $F = m a_s + D$ is exact given independence. The condition $v^2 \sin \gamma = 2 H_\rho \, \mathrm{d}v / \mathrm{d}t$ for peak dynamic pressure is exact for any atmosphere and trajectory, and was checked at the computed peak of five profiles to 4.5 parts in a million. The closed form for the density scale height was checked against a numerical difference of the density profile to better than two parts in a thousand million, and reduces exactly to the pressure scale height in an isothermal layer. The footprint anisotropy $1 / \cos(\pi / N)$ is exact. That harmonic $N$ sampled at $N$ equally spaced points has the discrete mean of harmonic zero is exact for every phase. The static-margin consequence of fineness ratio is arithmetic on two published lengths.

Quantities that depend on assumptions, with the assumptions swept and the spread reported. The ascent is a speed power law and a pitch program with the published cut-off altitude as a constraint, and across five speed exponents the peak dynamic pressure runs from 45.9 to 92.2 kilopascal at 25.0 to 70.3 seconds and 7.9 to 11.0 kilometres. The half-signal time runs from 11.9 to 28.3 seconds and the fraction of the pressure-time integral collected before the dynamic-pressure peak from 83.6 to 95.3 percent. The instrument floor of the error budget runs from 0.54 to 2.24 percent across three instrument-quality cases. The drag fraction itself is not computed, because the mass is not public, and the budget is stated as a function of it. The instrumentation channel count, sample rate and telemetry capacity are likewise assumed and not published, so the data-rate arithmetic is quoted as a span and its conclusion is the order of the deficit rather than its value.

Inferences, marked as such where they appear. That the recoverability serves data return. That the four legs impose a leading azimuthal harmonic equal to their count. That the programme has ended. That the two vehicles’ results cannot be differenced because their drag models are not common terms. None of these is stated as a fact anywhere in this article and each is reversible by one document.

Two conflicts in the sources are recorded and not resolved. The laboratory’s background document writes into the 22nd century twice where it means the twenty-first [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. And it names nitrogen tetroxide with Aerozine 50 in one sentence and nitrogen tetroxide with monomethylhydrazine in the next, which are different fuels, the liquid stages of the Titan 4 having burned the first [Palaszewski and Powell 1991].

One dateline limit. This article is dated 9 December 2025. The contractor’s web pages were read after that date and are cited for what the company says it does. The encyclopedia entry was last revised on 11 August 2024, which is before the dateline [Invocon X-64]. The register rows are counted in its copy last updated on 23 August 2026, which postdates the dateline and holds allocations made after it, so its row totals are those of that copy [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum]. No statement in the body depends on anything the company published after the dateline, and the description of its current business is used only to observe that it does not list a launch vehicle, which was equally true in 2024 on the evidence of the award record.

What is not known and would change things. The vehicle’s mass, thrust and drag coefficient. The channel count, sample rates and sensor placement of the instrumentation, and in particular the number of sensors on the annulus. The leg reach and the centre-of-mass height. The dollar value of the agreement. Whether any hardware was built. And whether the four legs were ever more than a rendering. The encyclopedia entry credits two images, one to the laboratory and one to the contractor, and the one it captions is of a three-dimensional printed model [Invocon X-64]. No photograph of flight hardware is identified as such in any source consulted, which is weaker than saying none exists and is as far as the record goes.

Out of Scope

The aerospike nozzle itself belongs to the previous article. The conjugacy of ambient pressure and exit area, the Legendre structure of the ideal spike’s thrust curve, the Bregman divergence that is a fixed nozzle’s loss, the mean-in-time rule that chooses an exit area, the separation criterion and the three wake regimes are derived there and used here as given.

The internal aerodynamics of the plug and the design of the fins are not treated. Both need contours that are not public.

The landing dynamics are not treated. This article computes a static tip-over condition. A real landing is an impact with stroke, damping and a horizontal velocity component, and the legs are shock absorbers as well as a footprint.

The descent trajectory is not treated at all. How a vehicle of fineness five gets from cut-off back to a controlled vertical landing is a larger problem than the ascent modelled here, and nothing in the record describes the intended method.

No estimate is offered of whether the programme was worth its price. The price is not public.

Conclusion

The register gives two vehicles one description, and the laboratory that paid for both describes two designs by two teams [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum] [AFRL’s Rocket Lab Past, Present and Future]. Everything above follows from taking the laboratory at its word.

The X-64A’s team is an instrumentation house leading a propulsion house and a company whose largest award is for control. Eighty-one award rows, most of them for wireless instrumentation, impact detection and radiation monitoring. Fifteen for KT Engineering, among them segmented and radially segmented launch vehicles, and this company holds every one of the seven rows the phrase segmented launch vehicle returns in the whole record. And fifteen more under Troy 7, the largest of them for hypersonic control and two of them belonging to other companies, findable only if the company’s name is spelled with a space its customer omits [USAspending]. A name is a query and a query is only as good as its spelling.

The vehicle is two published numbers and they indicate it was shaped to come back. About 12 metres by about 2.4 gives a fineness ratio $f = L / D_b$ of about five against its sibling’s 14.67, so its frontal area, which scales as $D_b^2$, is 1.72 times as large, and since a margin of $S_m$ calibres is $S_m / f$ of the length, one calibre of static margin costs it 20 percent of its length against 6.8 percent for the other vehicle. Those are the proportions of a lander, and the four legs that are fins on the way up are the aerodynamic surface a short vehicle needs put where the ground is.

And the problem has a long literature, which states in as many words that in-flight thrust is calculated rather than measured [Uncertainty of in-flight thrust determination] and which models the gas path because an air-breathing inlet makes thrust inseparable from drag to any body-mounted instrument. Thrust minus drag is one observable and splitting it always costs a model of one side, which the XB-70 drag measurement paid on the thrust side [Techniques for determining propulsion system forces].

The measurement is the half of the ARISE question this vehicle exists to answer, and it turns on one identity. An accelerometer is blind to gravity, so it reads thrust minus drag over mass, and recovering thrust needs a drag model. The drag term is the only one no instrument on board can reduce, it enters the error budget weighted by the drag fraction, and by $\delta D / D \le \beta \Delta / d$ holding it to a tenth of a five percent effect needs a drag model good to 2.65 percent at a drag fraction of one fifth. That is a standard this article judges a pre-flight drag model of a novel configuration unlikely to meet.

And yet the experiment works, for a reason that has nothing to do with instruments. Ambient pressure depends on position while drag depends on position and the square of speed, and a rocket reaches altitude before it reaches speed. Dynamic pressure peaks 2.10 to 2.48 times later than the moment half the altitude-compensation signal has been collected, and by the time it peaks the share $\chi(t_q)$ already in hand is between 83.6 and 95.3 percent. The trajectory is the instrument, and the vehicle’s shape, which raises the drag fraction by 1.72 on frontal area alone, is working against the one term the timing had already defeated.

The rest is what a finite number of sensors on a circle can see. Both phases of azimuthal harmonic $\mu$ need $2\mu + 1$ sensors, so a side load needs three and a four-lobed pattern needs nine. Harmonic $N$ read by $N$ sensors has exactly the discrete mean of harmonic zero, which means a four-legged vehicle with four taps on its annulus would report the disturbance of its legs as a change in the thrust-bearing mean. The regimes the flight existed to measure are changes in that mean and every sensor count recovers them, so the undersampled ring answers the programme’s question and quietly misattributes everything else.

The legs on the ground are the same polygon the other article found in the sky. The ratio of best to worst tip-over direction is $1 / \cos(\pi / N)$, character for character the anisotropy of differential-throttling authority, exactly the square root of two for four legs and exactly two for three. The footprint has $N$ sides for every count where the control polygon had $N$ or $2N$, and the difference is a half-plane truncation rather than anything geometric.

Neither vehicle is recorded as having flown. One contractor lost two rockets and left the launch business [RS1, Gunter’s Space Page]. The other is still an instrumentation house, and lists no launch vehicle among its products [Invocon]. Whether it ever thought of itself as anything else is not something an award record can settle, and this article does not claim it. The register still carries both numbers, allocated on the same day, with the same hundred and one characters against each, and it still gives a reader no way to tell that the two machines behind them were never the same machine [Parsch, DOD 4120.15-L Addendum].

Equations

This section collects the 50 display equations of the article in the order they appear, each under its number and reproduced exactly as it stands in the text. A title in bold names an established result, and a title in italics beginning with the word Bespoke names a construction made for this analysis. Of the 50, 31 are established and 19 are bespoke. Lengths are in metres, pressures in pascals and densities in kilograms per cubic metre, tilt angles are evaluated in degrees although the notation key states radians, and several letters are reassigned from the X-63A article, so $\gamma$ is the flight-path angle and the ratio of specific heats is written $\kappa$, $\rho$ is the atmospheric density and the lever arm is written $\ell$, $\delta$ prefixes an uncertainty while $\Delta$ is the size of the effect, $N$ counts legs and elsewhere sensors on a ring, $\mu$ is an azimuthal harmonic index, and $V$ is a data volume in bytes while $V_c$ is a volume in cubic metres.

Equation 1, Fineness Ratio, Frontal Area, Wetted Area and Volume of a Cylinder. The fineness ratio is length over diameter, and the frontal area, side area and enclosed volume of the equivalent cylinder follow from the same two dimensions. fineness ratio

\[f \equiv \frac{L}{D_b}, \qquad A = \frac{\pi D_b^2}{4}, \qquad S = \pi D_b L, \qquad V_c = A L \tag{1}\]

Equation 2, Scaling of Area and Volume at Fixed Shape. The frontal area scales with the square of the diameter, the side area with diameter times length and the volume with the square of the diameter times the length.

\[A \propto D_b^{2}, \qquad S \propto D_b L, \qquad V_c \propto D_b^{2} L \tag{2}\]

Equation 3, Length, Diameter and Fineness Ratios of the Two Vehicles. The published dimensions give the X-64A 44.7 percent of the RS1’s length, 131.2 percent of its diameter and a fineness ratio of about five against 14.67.

\[\frac{12.0}{26.8224} = 0.4474, \qquad \frac{2.4}{1.8288} = 1.3123, \qquad f = \frac{12.0}{2.4} = 5.00 \quad \text{against} \quad \frac{26.8224}{1.8288} = 14.667, \qquad \frac{14.667}{5.00} = 2.933 \tag{3}\]

Equation 4, Bespoke Enclosed Volumes of the Equivalent Cylinders. Treating each vehicle as a cylinder of its published length and diameter, a simplification the article chooses, gives the X-64A 77.1 percent of the RS1’s volume.

\[V_c = \frac{\pi \left( 2.4 \right)^2}{4} \left( 12.0 \right) = 54.29, \qquad V_c = \frac{\pi \left( 1.8288 \right)^2}{4} \left( 26.8224 \right) = 70.46, \qquad \frac{54.29}{70.46} = 1.7222 \times 0.4474 = 0.7705 \tag{4}\]

Equation 5, Equation of Motion Along the Flight Path. Newton’s second law along the flight path balances the mass times the acceleration against thrust, drag and the component of weight.

\[m \frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = F - D - m g \sin \gamma \tag{5}\]

Equation 6, Specific Force Sensed by an Accelerometer. A body-mounted accelerometer senses the non-gravitational force per unit mass, so the thrust is the mass times the sensed specific force plus the drag. proper acceleration

\[a_s = \frac{F - D}{m}, \qquad F = m \, a_s + D \tag{6}\]

Equation 7, Specific Force Along the Body Axis at Angle of Attack. Along the body axis the accelerometer senses thrust less the axial aerodynamic force, which is the drag and normal force resolved through the angle of attack.

\[a_s = \frac{F - X_a}{m}, \qquad X_a = D \cos \alpha - N_a \sin \alpha \tag{7}\]

Equation 8, Vehicle Mass From the Integrated Propellant Flow. The instantaneous mass is the initial mass less the integral of the propellant mass flow.

\[m(t) = m_0 - \int_{0}^{t} \dot{m}(s) \, \mathrm{d}s \tag{8}\]

Equation 9, Propagation of Independent Errors Into Thrust. Treating the mass, accelerometer and drag errors as independent, the thrust error adds their contributions in quadrature.

\[\left( \delta F \right)^2 = \left( a_s \, \delta m \right)^2 + \left( m \, \delta a_s \right)^2 + \left( \delta D \right)^2 \tag{9}\]

Equation 10, Bespoke Relative Thrust Error Budget in the Drag Fraction. Dividing by the thrust and introducing the drag fraction, the article’s budget attenuates the instrument terms by one less the drag fraction and scales the drag-model term by the drag fraction.

\[\left( \frac{\delta F}{F} \right)^2 = \left( 1 - d \right)^2 \left[ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^2 \right] + d^2 \left( \frac{\delta D}{D} \right)^2 \tag{10}\]

Equation 11, Bespoke Instrument Floor at Zero Drag. With no drag the article’s budget collapses to the root sum of squares of the mass and accelerometer errors.

\[\frac{\delta F}{F}\Big\rvert_{d = 0} = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^2 } \tag{11}\]

Equation 12, Bespoke Instrument Floor Against the Effect. Assumed errors of one percent in mass and half a percent in specific force give a floor of 1.12 percent, which is 21.1 percent of the 5.3 percent gain carried over from the X-63A article.

\[\frac{\delta F}{F}\Big\rvert_{d = 0} = \sqrt{ \left( 0.010 \right)^2 + \left( 0.005 \right)^2 } = 0.01118, \qquad \frac{0.01118}{0.053} = 0.211 \tag{12}\]

Equation 13, Dynamic Pressure and Drag. The dynamic pressure is half the density times the square of the speed, and the drag is the dynamic pressure times the drag coefficient and the reference area. dynamic pressure

\[q = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho v^2, \qquad D = q \, C_D A \tag{13}\]

Equation 14, Density From the Perfect Gas Law. The density at an altitude follows from the standard atmosphere pressure and temperature through the perfect gas law. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976

\[\rho(h) = \frac{p_a(h)}{R \, T(h)} \tag{14}\]

Equation 15, Temperature in a Layer of the Standard Atmosphere. The temperature rises or falls linearly from the base of a layer at its lapse rate. defining constants and abbreviated tables

\[T(h) = T_0 + \lambda \left( h - h_0 \right) \tag{15}\]

Equation 16, Pressure in a Layer of the 1976 Standard Atmosphere. The pressure follows the hydrostatic power law in a layer with a lapse rate and the exponential form in an isothermal layer. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976 defining constants and abbreviated tables

\[p_a(h) = p_0 \left( 1 + \frac{\lambda \left( h - h_0 \right)}{T_0} \right)^{-\frac{g_0}{R \lambda}}, \qquad p_a(h) = p_0 \exp\left( -\frac{g_0 \left( h - h_0 \right)}{R T_0} \right) \tag{16}\]

Equation 17, Speed of Sound and Mach Number. The speed of sound follows from the ratio of specific heats, the gas constant and the temperature, and the Mach number is the speed over it. defining constants and abbreviated tables

\[c = \sqrt{\kappa R T}, \qquad M = \frac{v}{c} \tag{17}\]

Equation 18, Density Scale Height in a Layer With a Lapse Rate. The density scale height is the gas constant times the temperature over standard gravity plus the gas constant times the lapse rate, so it equals the pressure scale height only in an isothermal layer. scale height

\[H_\rho \equiv -\frac{\rho}{\mathrm{d}\rho / \mathrm{d}h} = \frac{R \, T}{g_0 + R \lambda} \tag{18}\]

Equation 19, Condition for Maximum Dynamic Pressure. Setting the derivative of the logarithm of dynamic pressure to zero places its peak where the vertical speed over the density scale height equals twice the relative rate of acceleration.

\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t} \ln q = -\frac{v \sin \gamma}{H_\rho} + \frac{2}{v}\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} = 0 \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad v^2 \sin \gamma = 2 H_\rho \frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}t} \tag{19}\]

Equation 20, Bespoke Gravity-Turn Ascent Model. The article models the flight-path angle by a pitch-program exponent and the speed by a power law in time, and integrates the vertical speed to the altitude, with the exponents chosen so that the published cut-off of 75 kilometres is met. gravity turn ABL Payload User’s Guide

\[\gamma(t) = \frac{\pi}{2}\left( 1 - \frac{t}{t_b} \right)^{k}, \qquad v(t) = v_b \left( \frac{t}{t_b} \right)^{p}, \qquad h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} v(s) \sin \gamma(s) \, \mathrm{d}s \tag{20}\]

Equation 21, Bespoke Peak Dynamic Pressure of the Central Profile. The peak dynamic pressure of 71.6 kilopascals is evaluated at the altitude and Mach number that the central profile, with a speed exponent the article takes as 1.0, gives.

\[q = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = \tfrac{1}{2} \kappa \, p_a M^2, \qquad T = 288.15 - 0.0065 \left( 8{,}760.5 \right) = 231.21, \qquad p_a = 101{,}325 \left( \frac{231.21}{288.15} \right)^{5.2559} = 31{,}853, \qquad q = \tfrac{1}{2} \left( 1.4 \right) \left( 31{,}853 \right) \left( 1.792 \right)^2 = 71{,}603 \tag{21}\]

Equation 22, Bespoke Density Scale Height at the Central Peak. The density scale height evaluated at the central profile’s peak altitude is 8,358 metres, so the ratio of 1.048 between the two is a property of that assumed profile and not a constant.

\[H_\rho = \frac{R \, T}{g_0 + R \lambda} = \frac{\left( 287.053 \right) \left( 231.21 \right)}{9.80665 - \left( 287.053 \right) \left( 0.0065 \right)} = 8{,}358, \qquad \frac{8{,}761}{8{,}358} = 1.048 \tag{22}\]

Equation 23, Pressure-Time Integral. The pressure-time integral is the integral of ambient pressure over the burn.

\[J = \int_{0}^{t_b} p_a\left( t \right) \, \mathrm{d}t \tag{23}\]

Equation 24, Bespoke Share of the Pressure-Time Integral Collected by a Time. The article defines the fraction of the integral collected by a given time and evaluates it at the peak of dynamic pressure across its family of assumed ascent profiles.

\[\chi\left( t \right) = \frac{1}{J} \int_{0}^{t} p_a\left( s \right) \mathrm{d}s, \qquad \chi\left( t_{1/2} \right) = \tfrac{1}{2}, \qquad \chi\left( t_q \right) = 0.836 \text{ to } 0.953, \qquad \frac{t_q}{t_{1/2}} = \frac{25.039}{11.946} = 2.096 \text{ to } \frac{70.295}{28.292} = 2.485 \tag{24}\]

Equation 25, Bespoke Drag Fraction. The article defines the drag fraction as the drag over the thrust, written through the dynamic pressure, drag coefficient and frontal area.

\[d \equiv \frac{D}{F} = \frac{q \, C_D A}{F} \tag{25}\]

Equation 26, Thrust-to-Weight Ratio and Ballistic Coefficient. The initial thrust-to-weight ratio is thrust over initial weight, and the ballistic coefficient is initial mass over drag coefficient times reference area.

\[\psi \equiv \frac{F}{m_0 g_0}, \qquad B \equiv \frac{m_0}{C_D A} \tag{26}\]

Equation 27, Bespoke Drag Fraction in Vehicle Groups. Combining the article’s drag fraction with the two groups gives it as the dynamic pressure over the thrust-to-weight ratio, standard gravity and the ballistic coefficient.

\[d = \frac{q}{\psi \, g_0 B} \tag{27}\]

Equation 28, Bespoke Drag Fraction Proportional to Dynamic Pressure. Holding the thrust and drag coefficient constant through the burn, as the article assumes, the ratio of drag fractions at two instants is the ratio of dynamic pressures.

\[\frac{d\left( t_1 \right)}{d\left( t_2 \right)} = \frac{q\left( t_1 \right)}{q\left( t_2 \right)} \tag{28}\]

Equation 29, Bespoke Drag-Model Accuracy Requirement. Inverting the article’s budget for a drag term allowed a share $\beta$ of an effect $\Delta$ gives the drag-model accuracy required at each drag fraction.

\[d \, \frac{\delta D}{D} \le \beta \Delta \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad \frac{\delta D}{D} \le \frac{\beta \Delta}{d} \tag{29}\]

Equation 30, Bespoke Critical Drag Fraction. The article’s critical drag fraction is the one at which the whole budget equals the effect being measured.

\[\left( 1 - d_{\mathrm{crit}} \right)^{2} \left[ \left( \frac{\delta m}{m} \right)^{2} + \left( \frac{\delta a_s}{a_s} \right)^{2} \right] + d_{\mathrm{crit}}^{2} \left( \frac{\delta D}{D} \right)^{2} = \Delta^{2} \tag{30}\]

Equation 31, Bespoke Drag Fraction at the Half-Signal Time. A peak drag fraction of three tenths, which the article takes as a high value, scales with the dynamic pressure ratio to between 0.025 and 0.17 at the time half the signal is collected.

\[d\left( t_{1/2} \right) = d\left( t_q \right) \frac{q\left( t_{1/2} \right)}{q\left( t_q \right)} = 0.30 \times 0.082 = 0.025 \quad \text{to} \quad 0.30 \times 0.572 = 0.172, \qquad \frac{57.20}{8.201} = 6.97 \tag{31}\]

Equation 32, Static Margin in Calibres. The static margin is the distance of the centre of pressure aft of the centre of mass divided by the body diameter.

\[S_m = \frac{x_{cp} - x_{cm}}{D_b} \tag{32}\]

Equation 33, Static Margin as a Fraction of Length. A margin in calibres is that margin over the fineness ratio when measured as a fraction of the vehicle’s length.

\[\frac{x_{cp} - x_{cm}}{L} = \frac{S_m}{f} \tag{33}\]

Equation 34, Slender-Body Normal-Force Slopes of Nose and Cylinder. In inviscid slender-body theory the nose contributes a normal-force slope of two per radian and a cylindrical body contributes none. Barrowman 1967

\[C_{N\alpha,\,\mathrm{nose}} = 2, \qquad C_{N\alpha,\,\mathrm{body}} = 0 \tag{34}\]

Equation 35, Tip-Over Angle. A vehicle tips when the ground projection of its centre of mass leaves the convex hull of its contact points, at a tilt whose tangent is the lever arm over the height of the centre of mass. convex hull

\[\tan \theta_{\mathrm{tip}}\left( \phi \right) = \frac{\ell\left( \phi \right)}{h_{cm}} \tag{35}\]

Equation 36, Lever Arm of a Regular Polygon Footprint. For legs at the vertices of a regular polygon the distance along a ray to the hull boundary runs from the circumradius over a leg to the inradius across a gap.

\[\ell\left( \phi \right) = \frac{r \cos\left( \pi / N \right)}{\cos\left( \pi / N - \lvert a \rvert \right)}, \qquad \ell_{\max} = r, \qquad \ell_{\min} = r \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{N} \right) \tag{36}\]

Equation 37, Support Function of a Regular Polygon. The support function of the footprint is the largest projection of a leg position onto the direction, which is the circumradius times the cosine of the angle from the nearest leg. support function of a convex set

\[h_s\left( \phi \right) = \max_{k} \, r \cos\left( \theta_k - \phi \right) = r \cos a \tag{37}\]

Equation 38, Anisotropy of a Regular Polygon Footprint. The ratio of the longest to the shortest lever arm is the secant of pi over the number of legs.

\[\frac{\ell_{\max}}{\ell_{\min}} = \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / N \right)} \tag{38}\]

Equation 39, Anisotropy for Three, Four, Eight and Twelve Legs. The secant of pi over the leg count is exactly two for three legs and the square root of two for four.

\[\frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 3 \right)} = 2, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 4 \right)} = \sqrt{2} = 1.4142, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 8 \right)} = 1.0824, \qquad \frac{1}{\cos\left( \pi / 12 \right)} = 1.0353 \tag{39}\]

Equation 40, Bespoke Sides of the Footprint Hull Against the X-63A Control Polygon. The footprint hull has one side per leg for every count, while the control polygon of the X-63A article’s idealised throttled ring has $N$ sides for even counts and $2N$ for odd ones.

\[m_h = N \quad \text{for every } N, \qquad m_c = \begin{cases} N, & N \text{ even} \\ 2N, & N \text{ odd} \end{cases} \tag{40}\]

Equation 41, Bespoke Shortest Lever Arm Over the Assumed Footprint Radii. The footprint radius, which is not published, is swept from the body radius of 1.2 metres to an assumed 3.0 metres for four legs.

\[r \ge \frac{D_b}{2} = 1.2, \qquad \ell_{\min} = r \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = 0.8485 \quad \text{at} \quad r = 1.2, \qquad \ell_{\min} = 2.1213 \quad \text{at} \quad r = 3.0 \tag{41}\]

Equation 42, Bespoke Tip-Over Angles Over the Assumed Sweep. The tip-over angle is evaluated at assumed footprint radii and centre-of-mass heights, giving 8.05 degrees in the least favourable corner and 35.26 degrees across a gap in the most favourable. Invocon X-64

\[\theta_{\mathrm{tip}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{\ell_{\min}}{h_{cm}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{0.8485}{6.0} = 8.05 \text{ degrees}, \qquad \tan^{-1} \frac{2.1213}{3.0} = 35.26 \text{ degrees}, \qquad \tan^{-1} \frac{\ell_{\max}}{h_{cm}} = \tan^{-1} \frac{3.0}{3.0} = 45.00 \text{ degrees} \tag{42}\]

Equation 43, Azimuthal Fourier Series. A quantity distributed around the annulus is expanded as a mean plus cosine and sine harmonics in the azimuthal angle.

\[\Psi\left( \vartheta \right) = A_0 + \sum_{\mu = 1}^{\infty} \left[ A_\mu \cos \mu \vartheta + B_\mu \sin \mu \vartheta \right] \tag{43}\]

Equation 44, Discrete Estimators of the Harmonic Coefficients. With $N$ equally spaced sensors each coefficient is estimated by a weighted sum of the sensor readings. Shannon 1949 Nyquist 2002

\[\hat{A}_\mu = \frac{2}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \Psi\left( \vartheta_j \right) \cos \mu \vartheta_j, \qquad \hat{B}_\mu = \frac{2}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \Psi\left( \vartheta_j \right) \sin \mu \vartheta_j \tag{44}\]

Equation 45, Highest Harmonic Resolvable in Both Phases. The mean costs one sensor and each harmonic two, so $N$ sensors resolve harmonics up to the floor of half of $N$ less one. aliasing discrete Fourier transform

\[1 + 2 \mu_{\max} \le N \qquad \Longrightarrow \qquad \mu_{\max} = \left\lfloor \frac{N - 1}{2} \right\rfloor \tag{45}\]

\[\mu \; \longmapsto \; \min\left( \mu \bmod N, \; N - \left( \mu \bmod N \right) \right) \tag{46}\]

Equation 47, Harmonic N Aliases Onto the Mean. Harmonic $N$ sampled at $N$ equally spaced points has the same discrete mean as a constant of the same phase.

\[\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=0}^{N-1} \cos\left( N \, \vartheta_j + \varphi \right) = \cos \varphi \qquad \text{for every } N \text{ and every } \varphi \tag{47}\]

Equation 48, Aggregate Data Rate and Volume. The aggregate rate is the channel count times the sample rate times the bits per sample, and the volume over a burn is that rate times the burn time in bytes.

\[\mathcal{R} = n_c f_s b, \qquad V = \frac{\mathcal{R} \, t_b}{8} \tag{48}\]

Equation 49, Bespoke Telemetry Deficit Ratio. The article defines the deficit as the aggregate data rate over the downlink capacity, which it compares across an assumed capacity of one half to twenty megabits per second.

\[\eta_\ell = \frac{\mathcal{R}}{\mathcal{R}_\ell} = \frac{n_c f_s b}{\mathcal{R}_\ell} \tag{49}\]

Equation 50, Bespoke Sensitivity of the Fineness Ratio to Twenty Percent Errors. Perturbing each published dimension by an assumed twenty percent moves the fineness ratio between 4.00 and 6.25 and leaves the parent vehicle at least 2.35 times as slender.

\[f = \frac{12.0}{2.4} = 5.00, \qquad \frac{1.2 \times 12.0}{2.4} = 6.00, \qquad \frac{12.0}{0.8 \times 2.4} = 6.25, \qquad \frac{0.8 \times 12.0}{2.4} = 4.00, \qquad \frac{12.0}{1.2 \times 2.4} = 4.17, \qquad \frac{14.67}{6.25} = 2.35 \tag{50}\]
