Need help with a rocket motor ID
I've just received a few pics of a small rocket motor, from a friend of mine. It's about 2Kg and about 45cm long with a 10cm wide nozzle. It's a liquid fuel motor and doesn't look like it has any electrical connections. We're all guessing it could be some form of reaction nozzle for (maybe) a Gemini or Apollo capsule. I've posted pics to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation I'd appreciate any advice on the subject. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

That's right up there with "Can you help me find my dog? I have no idea where I left him last week!" That's true: I had to subscribe to the newsgroup, hunt down his messages to find the photos, and then view them...before unsubscribing from the newsgroup. If he'd posted a direct link to the photos, I'll bet everyone would have had a lot of fun figuring out what it was. Pat |

It's a weird engine; it uses a spiral cooling coil down the interior of the combustion chamber, and looks like something out of the XLR-11 period of time. Pat |
