 Seven more runs to 100,000 feet Posted on: Mon Jul 25, 2011 7:31 pmLast week we did seven runs to 100K feet. It was part of a promotion for Samsung. We had rain, lightening and multiple wind storms yet each launch went off on the one second mark that was set six months earlier to tie in with a live event in Japan. If you need to get to 100K in just about any weather (these were heavy payloads too) and need to hit a precise mark, leave the rocket at home and grab a balloon.

Just use the most efficient engines and stages at the same time, and the result will automatically be SSTO. Blog: http://exoscientist.blogspot.com |
