Re: 66 Litre Booster
That Looks Great! (Impatiently waits for launch video)
Does the booster have full 22mm nozzles?

Re: 66 Litre Booster
That's a monster booster Batkiter! I was just curious about the arrangement of the booster. It looks like the booster only has the single central nozzle. Is the central section filled with water, and the outside booster segments only with air? I can see how that kind of arrangement would help with stability by distributing the water further up the rocket. How much water will you use in the booster? Does the central distribution point also include a staging mechanism for another stage, or does it all stay together? It was hard to tell from the photo. Like Brian said, I too look forward to the video of the launch.

Re: 66 Litre Booster
It is a singlestagebooster with a 9 litre Central tank. The booster will be filled only with air and the central tank be filled whit 9 litres of soft water. The airpressure (18bar) blows the water through the 15 mm nozzle and this provide a longer burn time and a higher acceleration. (Should it be!)
Lift off is planed on the German Rocket Event end of March 2012.

So the boosters on the side do not fall off?

Re: 66 Litre Booster
Fantastic!!
I hope all the great work and skilled engineering you have achieved, pays off at the launch. I have no doubt that it most certainly will!!
