What Type of Ignitor...???

[Steward]

Anybody got any LARGE ignitors I could use...???

It's got 5 "F" somethings in it...

Five F-1's, to be exact.

But you might want to stand back a little more than the 200 feet recommended in the safety code.

Space and Rocket Center... Huntsville...
I had to go out to the highway to get the whole thing... my camera wouldn't frame it from within the park...

I believe the Space Shuttle SRB's have the equivalent of three 'O' motors at the top to insure ignition in a timely manner.

If they're F1's, they shouldn't need ignitor that large...They're only F impulse, by the way. Those must be some looooooong motors for F impulse, averaging 1 Newton. Can they even lift that thing? It looks huge!!!
