The title explains it all. I know that the Star 48 kick motor rotated at 60 rpm through its burn. I'd like to know the fastest a rocket/stage has spun during a launch, as well as the highest theoretical spin rate of a rocket.

$\begingroup$ @OrganicMarble I'm not concerned about failures or successes, I'm just wondering the maximum spin rate before vehicle breakup for the second question (could be a rocket failure like A-003), the first question must be a success. $\endgroup$– fasterthanlightJan 26 at 17:03

1$\begingroup$ potentially related: Which (if any) Vanguard satellite spun at 150 RPM? How fast did the rest spin, or at leased would have spun had they succeeded? $\endgroup$– uhohJan 29 at 6:48

$\begingroup$ IIRC Explorer 1 was 750rpm $\endgroup$– blobbymcblobbyJan 29 at 16:52
