Goofing around with Rocketsim demo, I thought about something like attached. I've only used this program for about an hour, so this is really rough.
The intent is:
The 3 strap-ons each have one fin and are ignited at the same time as the d12 booster.They would each be rigged to be in place with the booster, but as the booster comes off, it allows them to separate from the main airframe. The booster separation would occur during the delay time of the strap-ons and they each would come down with streamers.
I have no idea how to sim this either, maybe i should have done it as a 2 stage and the strap-ons part of that rather than the 3rd...
some notes:
-I didn't add much for recovery
-I didn't look into adding the nose cones for the strap-ons, but they would be nessled under the transition.
-I didn't get to the fins for the sustainer yet. I want them to be almost invisible between the strap-ons though.
Thoughts? Is it worth pursuing?
