Model Forum / General / Rockets / September 2003Aerospike successful trial
Thought this group might be interested in this... http://www.californiaspaceauthority.org/pr030621.html Now, if only Joe at Aerotech could put this into an 18-24mm case!  SignatureRichard A.

"successful trial" is a relative term. It was an aerospike. It flew. The hardware was not destroyed by the test. It is unclear if it aerospiked sufficiently to say it was a success. The article refers to the static but it has since flown. It produced thrust.

Blacksky must be making a killing these days! <heh> The amateur rocket guys have some seriously impressive rails when you exit the TRA childhood. Many use trailers and hardmounts. My inventory of (available) heavy rocket towers ranges in the 12 area. There are others that have either political or sovereign firewalls. 2000 lb Big Bertha anyone?
