Arrow straight launches. Must not have had much wind that day. Any info on the sounding rockets?

You are right there was absolutely no wind. They launched a total of 6 not counting the ones that failed. Launched them before and after our missle shots. Not sure where the rockets were from...a team from John Hopkins was shooting them. They flew on Aerotech G Motors. Went up to 3000 feet, deployed parachute and sent back air density vs altitude data to ship. Sensor and Bodies splashed in water. They used data for reconstruction ofour missile shots.
