History
This is a nose cone and its internal instrumentation package that would be mounted on the tip of an Arcas weather rocket. Data such as altitude, barometric pressure, temperature and humidity would be transmitted by the instruments to a receiving station.
The Arcas launcher can be found in the Museum Rocket Garden and an Arcas rocket is on display in the Museum Exhibit Hall.
