Field refurbishment of recoverable sounding rocket payloads.

Sounding rocket payload field refurbishment has been shown to be an effective means for obtaining additional scientific data with substantial time and monetary savings. In a recent campaign three successful missions were flown using two payloads. Field refurbished hardware from two previously flown...

Field refurbished hardware from two previously flown and recovered payloads were field integrated to form a third payload.
