Abstract
The first part of the presentation introduces the Emerson ANSSR rocket, its mission, physical description, and firing sequence. It also shows the relative importance of proper dynamic balance.
The second part deals with the types of balance mechanisms employed and discuss their general merits. Also discussed are the balancing machines used during the recent ANSSR program and the value of component balancing.
The third part of the paper discusses peculiarities of certain balancing machines, in particular, fixed rate machines. It questions the use of fixed rate machines when used with an experimental, complex workpiece.
