From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The burn time was listed as ">90 seconds." This is clearly inaccurate, but unfortunately I don't have a reference for the burn time. I'll see if I can find one. I'd expect it to be somewhere in the 10-20s range. Evand 18:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

In the aricles they call about 12 seconds. Greetings --Franz Wikipedia 06:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

One of the linked articles or some other one? I haven't found such a reference, but I've been known to be blind sometimes :) Evand 09:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Evand! Please see here: [1]. I hope so, that´s the helpful reference. --Franz Wikipedia 18:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I found some details on the motor here: [2]. I don't see an easy way to create a permalink to the specific news item. Cesaroni lists 412 lbm propellant, 12s burn time, 240s delivered ISP, 10.45in diameter, and 119in length (motor + attach points only), with a propellant mass fraction of 0.8. From the burn time and ISP and propellant mass, I compute a thrust of 8240lbf or 36.6kN. Cesaroni Technology is the motor manufacturer. Evand 17:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
