injector for the engine and you are excited about the concept. However, you want to try it<br />

with hydrogen peroxide / kerosene, a fuel combination that is not much better than nitric<br />

acid / kerosene is for a low density, so more of a step backwards as progress.<br />

Test of InterpribtalIm 2008, the company announced interorbital that Kayser she advises<br />

on the drive technology. Your new class of "Neptune" missile uses the <strong>OTRAG</strong> engines<br />

and the module concept, where the published data can recognize this. There are only<br />

minor changes. So now is the shape of the rocket cloverleaf-shaped and the first stage is<br />

discarded in the form of external beams. The second and third stages now seem to exhibit<br />

real jets. The thrust lies in the region where one was already in the <strong>OTRAG</strong>: 6000<br />

pounds, about 27 kN. Videos show test runs (though only about 9 seconds burn time) and<br />

a start of a CRM configuration 8offensichtlich in 6 m), with this tendency, but from the<br />

start itself. Whether this is intentional or not is hard to say. Again, the module was<br />

burning only a few seconds.<br />

It seems to have been considerably increased the payload - A 33 CPMR carrier "Neptune<br />

1000" added a payload of 1,000 kg into a polar orbit - was needed to <strong>OTRAG</strong> times to<br />

even 64 modules. There is now four stages (first stage of 24 modules, six second. Two as<br />

a third and a module as the fourth stage. Thus the company hopes to win the Google<br />

Lunar X-Price. A larger model "Neptune 4000" will be tourists for 5 bring millions of<br />

dollars for a week in space. If you are fast can secure a ticket for the spot price of $<br />

250,000!<br />

What failed the <strong>OTRAG</strong>?<br />

The <strong>OTRAG</strong> was a pioneer of private rocket construction and also shows how to do it.<br />

On the technical concept<br />

On that opinions are divided. Some think it's awesome, others believe that not enough<br />

power to carry a payload into orbit.
