Improved Isp Rocketry II
Two questions this time:
1) Is it possible to get kerosene-LOX or propane-LOX to 395Isp? I've seen numbers around 360 on www.astronautix.com . 2) How effectively do large, altitude compensating nozzles (particularly aerospikes like on Bono's Rombus) maintain specific impulse between sea level launches and orbit? For example, would it be reasonable to maintain a LOX-propane specific impulse of 350 between the ground and orbit? Mike Miller, Materials Engineer |
