An onoscope is a specialized instrument used in ballistics to measure and analyze the trajectory of projectiles, particularly in firearms and ammunition testing. It helps in visualizing the flight path and impact of a projectile by providing real-time data on velocity, angle, and other critical parameters. This information is essential for optimizing performance and accuracy in various applications, including military and sporting contexts.

What is a ballistic missile?

A ballistic missile is a term that defines a missile's flight path. There are two types of flight paths as far as missiles are concerned: approach angle control and ballistic. A ballistic flight path describes a missile that is launched to a high altitude and adjusts itself to "fall" onto the target. That is how ballistic missiles are capable of such long attack distances. They fly high into the air and, depending how far the target is, either drop on top of it or simply glide to it. Approach angle control describes a missile that reaches it's target under it's own power. Meaning, it's fuel is pushing the missile all the way until detonation. This differs from a ballistic flight path because, generally speaking, a ballistic missiles booster fuel is used up completely by the time it reaches it's apex of it's flight. Hope that answers your question.


Do Intercontinental ballistic missiles ICBM go into space?

Yes, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are designed to travel into space during their flight trajectory. They follow a ballistic path that involves traveling outside of the Earth's atmosphere before re-entering to reach their target.


On what type of rocket was Sputnik 1 launched?

Sputnik 1 was launched on a R-7 Semyorka rocket, which was a Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile. It was the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile and the first rocket to successfully launch a satellite into orbit.


What was Britain's rocket programme called?

Britain's rocket programme was called the Blue Streak programme. It was a ballistic missile project that aimed to develop an intermediate-range ballistic missile for the British Royal Air Force. However, the programme was eventually canceled in 1960.


What is the range of Agni-3 Ballistic Missile which was launched by DRDA on 7th May 2008?

The Agni-3 Ballistic Missile has a range capability of approximately 3,000 to 3,500 kilometers. It is a nuclear-capable intermediate-range missile developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
