| With volunteer help over the years from people who work at places like the China Lake Naval Air Warfare Center, the Millirons have launched suborbital sounding rockets. They used gas clouds ejected from sounding rockets -- most often as a way to probe the structure of these fields. The two sounding rockets reached their planned maximum altitude (apogee) at 380 km, and all on-board research experiments were successfully carried out. |
