Altitude 45 million feet, velocity 113000 feet per second on a 600000 NS motor

And I'm not even an L1 yet! Anyone played around with the long burn test motor in Rocksim yet? Try it with a 98mm minimum diameter rocket!

What motor is that? Might need to use it as a booster to create a vnCHAD staged Mosquito (vnCHAD - very not cheap and dirty). First Mosquito ever flown into orbit! I'm gonna use mine to peg the ISS!

Man, you guys have way too much time on your hands!

RockSim is not a good program for estimating the performance of rockets that fly that high.

You need a 6 DOF program such as Splash which calculates downrange distance (X), cross wind distance (Y), altitude (Z), pitch, yaw, and roll. RockSim is a 3 DOF program calculating only X, Z, and pitch.

I agree with Carl.....................You guys have WAY too much free time on your hands!

Makes me wonder - does RockSim factor in relativistic effects?

 

[LarryH]

Awe you guys are just jealous!

Well... theres only one way to settle this argument. BUILD IT!!
