A disappearing rocket is a rocket , usually a sounding rocket , which is designed so that parts of the rocket body which usually fall back to the ground first explode into small pieces, in order to avoid harm to persons and objects on the ground. Such a rocket can thus be launched outside restricted areas. The experimental rocket GM 12 designed by KTS in Bonn Bonn Beuel was an example of disappearing rocket. It had a length of 1.85 metres, a launch weight of 23 kg, a diameter of 0.116 metres and a burn time of 2.25 seconds. This rocket with a maximum flight altitude of 12 kilometres may have been the only disappearing rocket ever flown. The greatest problem at disappearing rockets is that metal parts, which are necessary for parts of the cone are difficult to break in small pieces. In the 1960s, efforts were also made in the United States to design a frangible version of the Arcas rocket Arcas rocket http rocketservices.co.uk spacelists wwwor article.php?n 024 .

Orphan date February 2009 A stomp rocket is a toy rocket that is powered by compressed air . This is a trademarked name, the owner being Fred Ramirez, President of D&L Company. The term stomp rocket has been genericized trademark genericized , much like xerox or kleenex . D&L manufactured the first stomp rocket ever in the early 1990s and since then, many clones have appeared. Stomp rockets have an air bag that attaches to the rocket by a tube. When it is stomped on, the air rushes through the tube and into the body of the rocket, causing it to lift into the sky. There are two versions of stomp rockets available the Ultra Stomp Rocket, which travels about 200 feet, and the Junior Stomp Rocket, travels about 100 feet. The Astroblast was a late 1970s era stomp rocket consisting of a sturdy plastic stomp chamber with a sturdy stomp plunger on top. Citation needed date January 2009 An adjustable plastic pipe allowed a foam rubber rocket to be launched at any angle when the user stomped on the plunger. A later adaptation of the Astroblast substituted an air pump and release mechanism for the stomp chamber and plunger.

The burn time of the engine was 2 seconds. After the burnout of the engine the dart was separated from the rocket. Dart and rocket had a height of 1200 m and a speed of 1200 m s when separated after burnout. The dart flew without further propulsion up to a height of 50 kilometres, because of its good aerodynamic design, while the rocket, which was not so well designed aerodynamically, reached a lesser height and fell to the ground near the launchpad. The first launch attempt was planned on August 24, 1957 near Cuxhaven, but cancelled because of bad weather. On June 8, 1958 the first launch attempts were made, but failed, because two rockets hung on the launcher and the third was unstable in flight. The next launch attempt of three further rockets on September 14, 1958 was successful. The rockets reached the desired height of 50 km.
