Whaaat? What engine?

Whaaat? What engine?

He was designing a rocket engine for a suborbital (sounding) rocket. Lt. Snakestrike is part of a similar project in a whole different part of the world.

The answer may take a while coming, Cosmo is likely gonna be offline for a few weeks, if not longer.

Unfortunately I'm half of the country away from my project this semester since the US has gone to shit.

Real rocket engine???

 

[TtTOtW]

Yup

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Yup

is it liquid fuel or solid one???

and how many stages???

how big is it???

and is the engine pressure fed or???

 

[TtTOtW]

Lieutenant Snakestrike's project is a liquid fuelled one, single stage, pressure fed, though not mechanically pressurised, if I remember correctly? Cosmo: solid fuel dual stage I think.

ah i see i wonder how far it can go

 

[TtTOtW]

ah i see i wonder how far it can go

Something like 30km for one of them if I remember correctly

 

[JSP]

They better record it when they finish it and launch it

 

[NodoY5]

WOW

i'm wonderin whether they usin gyroscopes or more electronic now.....

 

[JSP]

They should put like a go pro camera on it so we can see pictures

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

yeah!

 

[JSP]

yeah!

Do we know a possible launch date when they complete the rocket

hmmmmmm that must be very excitin one

 

[TtTOtW]

Lieutenant's rocket has both gyro and GoPros built in.

so, what degree do you need to make a rocket and rocket engine and a power plant (using solar heat concentrator things, copper tubing in a black box with low e glass on one side, going into a steam engine or steam turbine)

 

[dlanm2u]

*solar water heater, like for pools

had to do that cause I couldn’t edit the last post

Degree? As in educational/training level?

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

You don't need any degree. Not in the US anyway. Only thing that can be a problem is getting a hand on fuel/ox, as they're regulated. However, it's really fucking dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, so I wouldn't really advise it.

so the hard part is transportation of fuel/oxidizers because they are regulated.....
