We are officially entering when a model is made and passed our examination. We are looking into a Hydrogen Peroxide rocket, manufactured by
www.tecaeromex.com . They put out great numbers, and in our small budget (which is fueled by sponsorships) it will be a cheap alternative to a fossil fuel burning rocket. You get 600x what you put in (gas to reaction) instead of 90 to 10 for a combustion rocket. It works on a chemical reaction with silver, that produces hot gas and steam, which is put through a rocket nozzle. Right now we are set to have it towed out or dropped by a mothership (plane) and then we wil fire the rockets. BTW, the rockets are the safest form of a rocket available, and the chance for an explosion (ie Challenger) drops dramatically b/c there is no combustion. Plus it is considered a "cool" rocket and can be used anywhere b/c oxygen is not needed. We are looking to join forces with TAM who makes the rocket, mainly b/c of the rockets and their composite materials. We plan on making a frame out of aluminum or possibly titanium. That help?
