The SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket is a partially-reusable vehicle with a first-stage booster that lands propulsively after launch. As the booster falls toward the land

To improve acoustical models of super heavy-lift launch vehicles, this Letter reports Space Launch System's (SLS's) overall sound power level (OAPWL) and compar

The use of conventional metrics to quantify the perception of nonlinearly propagated noise has been studied. Gaussian noise waveforms have been numerically prop

Far-field (9.7–35.5 km) noise measurements were made during the fifth flight test of SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy, which included the first-ever booster catch.
