Explosion of launch vehicle during the flight: environmental aspects of aftereffects and their evaluation
Journal Title: Технічна механіка, Техническая механика, Technical Mechanics - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Environmental aspects of the aftereffects of a launch vehicle explosion during the flight are examined. A methodic approach to predictable evaluations involving the characteristics of the dropping cloud in an explosion, vapors of toxic propellant components, the zone of the fall-out of non-vaporing propellant components and their amounts is proposed. The evaluations made allow an operative evaluation of the environmental aftereffects of an explosion considering certain weather conditions and characteristics of landscape along the launch vehicle track as well as the development a rational complex of measures for mitigation of environmental damage
