Joe, I found a graph here
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/pao/History/conghand/possibil.htm that shows speed versus altitude (in obscure units, but never mind) for both sounding rockets and orbital satellite launches (into a circular orbit) It's not in the greatest detail. Now to find the same data for the way down. Sil ZL2CIA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
