Any more info Monroe? What components?

I see they havent posted an update for a couple of months, you thinking about using sugar to get to space now :P Will these components be used on your N-prize rocket?

Here are the file names for the componets
Nozzle ring.SLDDRW.pdf (38KB), Mid bulkhead.SLDDRW.pdf (56KB), Forward bulkhead.SLDDRW.pdf (41KB)
We don’t know where this is going we are just helping out Richard to be honest there wouldn’t be any Team Prometheus without him. Without his site http://www.nakka-rocketry.net/ I probably would not have been inspired to do the work required to make our attempt a reality. I used his calculations and formulas to verify the feasibility of an attempt. He was my teacher and he dosent even know it! Anyway the least we could do is help them out.

No, we wont be using any of these components in our attempt I believe these components are for one of the Mini Shot rockets unless it is an upper stage.

Yes, we may consider this propellant for cost reasons for some portion of our launch vehicle.

We are making progress with molded segment composite grain structures and manufacturing them we are studying the Scout missions and looking at what china is doing with solid motors to orbit.
