Three durations of flight between different points of rocket trajectories are shown to be useful in the approximate computation of apogee. Data from a number of flights of known apogee are necessary to establish the effects of thrust and drag which are ignored in these computations. The results obtained from a number of Black Brant II flights are presented and discussed. (Author)
