OK, here it goes (again): This rocket is a 1/689.33 scale of a russian Soyuz rocket. It will have three stages including four drop off booster pods. Each booster pod will have (2) D12-3, (2) D12-7 and (2) C6-7. The center will have (4) E9-8 and (4) C6-7.The booster motors will all be lit on the ground using flash pan ignition started by 5 electric matches. The rocket will fly up and after the D12-3s burn out they will use their ejectsions to push the pods away from the rocket and will recover on parachutes from the 7 second delays in the other motors. The center will remain with the rest until upper stage ignition. The upper stage will have (4) G38-7 econojets and (4) C6-7. They will all be lit with electric matches using a GWiz device (might be subject to change). The booster will then fall away under chute as the sustainer keeps climbing. Shortly after the G38s burnout (4) A10-3 motors will ignight in the escape tower using a Perfect Flite mini timer (subject to change), taking with them the tower and capsual. The Sustainer will then recover under parachute. The escape tower will climb for a little longer then eject a streamer for recovery. The capsual will have two "scale cosmonauts" (lego men) representing Marcus and myself. Ok, lets recap shall we:

1st stage: (12) C6-7 (8) D12-3 (8) D12-7 (4) E9-8

I got the outline of this one from a black and white scan of Peter Always' "Rockets of the World" book. Then, using PAINT not photoshop, PAINT, I colored it in to make it 3D-ish. I also did anyonther similar drawings that are dispersed throughout the website. Click on the picture to see a bigger picture. |
