With all that white smoke, the first stage is solid.

Giant V-2 airframe Giant V-2 fin. I believe this rocket was bigger and also higher power. Nobody is publishing enough specs to verify that simply. Jerry |

Here are the specs that were posted on that other forum:
50 feet tall. 1,245 lbs, 6,600 lbs thrust at liftoff, 8 motors in booster 4x N2000 4x O3400 and the 2nd stage had 2 x O3400. Launched from Fort Carson Army Base, ULA invite only with security clearance. The kids loved it. Lost it's fins and maybe parts of air frame but considered a successful sport rocket flight. |

So the little rocket at top (like the WAC Corporal) was just for show? It fell away with the nose cone.

OK - you didn't have to have a security clearance! I'm sure those K-12 students have yet to undergo a background investigation. Attendance WAS limited. I barely got a parking permit. Future Heavy may never fly again. Lots of damage, very difficult logistics. Better to have a project the interns can complete in one summer. |
