Explorer Post 1010 Lockheed Martin Exploring Program Launcher Notes |
We used last year's
launch tower on October 21, but we would really like a new launch system.
A rail system that permits 3 or 4 fin rockets would be a good project. Some members had a dream about a rocket tube as a launcher. They built a demo system using a large PVC pipe. Here is a video of their first launch. We had serious problems with the tube launcher when we created a door on the side. We are looking for a new design We are also looking for a stainless steel rod for our other launch tower. We have a regular steel rod.
