 2024-07-08 SAND Rocket System

Back in 1963 Sandia Laboratories launched a series of rockets to test for radioactive and inert particles out of the atmosphere at altitudes of 100,00 to 230,000 feet.

The project was named SAND: Sampling Aerospace Nuclear Debris

It used an Honest John booster and a NIKE sustainer motor.

Here's a flying scale model rocket.  It's 2 stage just like the real thing and utilizes 24mm black powder motors.

This one starts with a BT/C-55 body, has reversed 1/4" plywood fins, (6) BT/C-50H tube fins, an Interceptor style bloated nose cone, all in a 29mm powered minimum diameter design.
