| ARTICLES RELATED TO Intercontinental Ballistic Missile | | | |  Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Industrial warfare - Aerial warfareThe first use of aeroplanes in war was the Italo-Turkish War of 1911, when the Italians carried out several reconnaissance and bombing missions. During World War I both sides made use of balloons and airplanes for reconnaissance and directing artillery fire. To prevent enemy reconnaissance, some airplane pilots began attacking other airplanes and balloons, first with small arms carried in the cockpit, and later with machine guns mounted on the aircraft. Both sides also made use of aircraft for bombing, strafing and dropping of propaganda lea ...

| | | | | Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Industrial warfare - Conscription Conscription allowed the French Republic to form the Grande Armee, what Napoleon Bonaparte called "the nation in arms", which successfully battled European professional armies.
Conscription, particularly when the conscripts are being sent to foreign wars that do not directly affect the security of the nation, has historically been highly politically contentious in democracies. For instance, during World War I, bitter political disputes broke out in Canada (see Conscription Crisis of 1917), Newfoundland, Australia and New Zealan ...

| | | | | Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Atmospheric reentry - Actively cooled heat shields Various advanced reusable spacecraft and hypersonic aircraft designs have been proposed to employ heat shields made from temperature-resistant metal alloys that incorporated a refrigerant or cryogenic fuel circulating through them. Such a TPS concept was proposed for the X-30 National Aerospace Plane (NASP). The NASP was supposed to have been a scramjet powered hypersonic aircraft but failed in development.
In the early 1960s various TPS systems were proposed to use water or other cooling liquid sprayed into the shock layer. Such concepts never got past the proposal phase s ...

| | | | | Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Atmospheric reentry - Feathered reentry In 2004, aircraft designer Burt Rutan demonstrated the feasibility of an alternative or complementary approach to atmospheric reentry with the suborbital SpaceShipOne.
SpaceShipOne has what has been described as a pair of flipping wings; the spacecraft itself changes shape for reentry.
This increases drag, as the craft is now less streamlined. This results in more atmospheric gas particles hitting the spacecraft at higher altitudes than otherwise. The aircraft thus slows down more in higher atmospheric layers (which is the very ...

| | | | | Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Atmospheric reentry - Entry vehicle design considerations There are four critical parameters considered when designing a vehicle for atmospheric entry:
Peak heat flux
Heat load
Peak deceleration
Peak dynamic pressure
Peak heat flux selects the TPS material. Heat load selects the thickness of the TPS material stack. Peak deceleration is of major importance for manned missions. The upper limit for manned return to Earth from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or lunar return is 10 G. For martian atmospheric entry after long exposure to zero gravity, the upper limit is 4 G. Peak dynamic pressure can also influ ...

| | | | | Intercontinental Ballistic Missile: Encyclopedia II - Industrial warfare - Nuclear warfare The use of nuclear weapons first came into being during the last months of World War II, with the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was the first, and only use, of nuclear weapons in combat. For a decade after World War II, the United States and later the Soviet Union developed and maintained a strategic force of bombers that would be able to attack any potential aggressor from bases inside their countries. Before the development of a capable strategic missile force in the Soviet Union, much of the war-fighting doctrin ...
