New high power Rocket launch

[paul1598419]

I would love to just put something into low orbit. Ah, pipe dreams. :yh:

 

[Seoul_lasers]

We now have new launches scheduled for the first week of March with new propellant.


Stay tuned.

 

[paul1598419]

I'll be looking forward to your videos.:wave:

 

[Seoul_lasers]

We're going for a speed record with the new propellant.
Got some metal storm and new redline propellant to try out.

Going to try and get press out for that. :evil:


There will be more as things unfold here in the next month.

What is the record? I will be anxious to see if you can break it.

A record set in the UK at a private school for a rocket guided by a metal zip line. The record stands at just shy of 1100Km/hr.

The other record is for our rockets. As far as we're concerned we just need to get the guiness book out to measure/verify our usual flights. As far as we know, we've already got the fastest speed of any Grade 7-12 school launched rocket.

So far the fastest has been ~1860Km/hr. The rocket hit an altitude of 3.2Km

:can:

New video showing our new video with a G125M (M for metal storm)

The idea here is to try and smash a new speed record for a G-Powered rocket.

This 200g rocket hit a maximum speed of 1478.9Km/hr (M1.23) at hit an altitude of 1.67Km. ~30g's were exerted on the body tube. Many of the other rockets did not survive the flight in one piece.




enjoy!

That's one rapid rocket, Seoul! :yh:
I'll be looking forward to your new speed record attempt; keep us posted!

 

[paul1598419]

That was a great video. Sorry you didn't break the record. There's always next time, buddy. + Rep. :yh:

Are you planning tot have the Guinness world record people out to document a new "official" world record---would certainly get your efforts recognized and help perhaps with funding as well..

 

[Seoul_lasers]

We'll have to see about the guiness books. It really depends how many more launches we can do before launching season comes to a close.


I've got a few more videos to post of other launches from earlier this week


I'll post them as soon as I get them. Some larger engines on their way too.

 

[Seoul_lasers]

New launch with a few new engines from our supplier. Skidmark (sparky motors) and an NBT (New blue thunder) Altitudes were 5780 and 7,100ft. A couple of the rockets disintegrated in the air due to the extreme forces of sudden acceleration. A video is being processed showing a spectacular ( our first) high altitude CATF (catastrophic failure) of the main body tube. The engine ripped out of the tube at around 4000ft and shot across the sky like a meteor. It was very spectacular! The body tube came down and was shredded

:angel:

The body tube came down and was shredded

WOW! And they say lasers are dangerous. Lolol. +Rep.

Hi Seoul, sorry to hear of your first CATF, but looking forward to the video!

You can add me to the video list. I have enjoyed all your rocket launches.
