 Posted on: Thu Mar 13, 2008 4:08 pmNew update for March 08
http://www.starchaser.co.uk/index.php?v ... group=news http://www.starchaser.co.uk/index.php?v ... pb_march08 Starchaser developing large HTPB Fuel Grains,. I assume this is to help with the development of the LES for Starchaser 5 judging from previous updates. The sizes they are talking are quite large though. Iain |

Posted on: Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:35 am We had those news already. Rob Goldsmith has very good connections to Starchaser.
 Perhaps we should shoot him into space with that rocket *g*

They seems (or at least it was presented as if they did) to make a lot of launches. I don't remember any launches completed. They just widen their non-rocket business: collectables, education programs for schools, yet another web redesign, newsletters etc. A bit disappointing. It's good to hear about Nova 2.  _________________ It's okay Pluto, I'm not a planet either. |

Posted on: Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:29 pm I have been killing time browsing the starchaser website and found a video of the churchill mk.1 injector water flow tests, in the video there are holes between the impinging elements which I can't decide what they are for,the injector is a doublet, looks like the holes could be holding the plates together? video here
http://www.starchaser.co.uk/index.php?v ... up=gallery Also in the ESA study paper they did, they mention that the Starchaser 5 booster could be powered by 4 Storm engines if need be, are they looking at this if the churchill mk.3 has not completed testing etc. if they are too fly by 2013? Paper here http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/gsp/c ... 342ExS.pdf There must be some starchaser members on the forum who must be able to shed some light? Iain |
