The rocket is built for a 98mm 26,000 ns O1900 . With a 13 second burn in the current D grain configuration , it is putting the rocket in the upper 70,000 range. We will find out at Balls what she will really do! Eric

I have only gone to 23K but it seems feasable to me. time will tell as they say.
