In 1959 a rocket with the following dimensions was built:
60" length, 2" diameter total liftoff mass is 15lbs
It was designed to go to an altitude of 100,000 ft(say 20-25 miles) in 60 seconds carrying an 8oz payload.
can you determine the approximate size and power of a typical composite solid rocket motor. that would be required to achieve the above specs?
Are there any commercial motors available to day that could achieve these specs?
In the final analysis, was a rocket with this level of performance even doable in 1959?
NEVERMIND. After additional research it appears that rockets motors of this level of power and sophitication did indeed exist in 1959
