Where is the Roton ATV?
After Rotary Rocket went out of business, was the ATV scrapped or did some
organization buy it? (It would be a cool thing to see flying around Oshkoch, but even that's going to far. I would still like to see it, if it is on static display, somewhere.) Rev. Jon |

Last I heard, it had been (tentatively?) sold to a museum in San Diego, but the first attempt to move it there -- by helicopter, last spring -- had to be aborted when the Chinook-ATV combination proved dangerously unstable in flight. I've heard nothing since. -- MOST launched 30 June; first light, 29 July; 5arcsec | Henry Spencer pointing, 10 Sept; first science, early Oct; all well. | |

I dunno. I'd like to see the ATV, too. Hey, maybe Blue Origin bought it. Patrick |

Maybe Xcor got it. Hey, maybe Blue Origin bought it. Patrick I like that idea. If nothing else, Blue Origin could be a sort of clearing house for all space related rumours since they are fairly quiet. Some other suggestions. Blue Origin spells Bigelow if you have the secret decoder ring. Blue Origin's lv consists of a Beal BA-2 with two Kistler K1's as strap on boosters.It's goal: The Guthlizards of Venus. Blue Origin: last minute X-prize winner. Welcome to the Blue Origin hotel, formerly called Almaz 11F668! Blue Origin: just a front for Wesley Clark's time-machine project. |
