Re: OVER-G'ed Bumpy ride in Soyuz?



Interesting. Does anyone know if the rough ride is a function of the
solids themselves or perhaps rather another factor such as the more
complex aerodynamics of the stack, especially at lower altitudes?

Do other solid fueled vehicles such Ariane 5 (a liquid-solid hybrid),
or Minuteman or Trident, or Titan III (which lifted off on solids only)
also provide a relatively rough ride?
