I’m sure we can come up with things to investigate and even reduce this
misalignment problem.
Who’s interested in a Punisher 2 mass launch? I think we should use the same
K1440 engine and leave it up to each flyer if they are going to modify the rail
buttons, pad, whatever else. We have lots of time to collect details on each
project.
Chris, would it be possible to post some details of the AC stand used to test
for misalignments?
Do you think that creating a way to hold the rocket on the pad until max thrust
is achieved would help?
I’m wondering why David Reese has not joined this discussion because wouldn’t
he be one of the best people to advise on something like this?
Again, I think building a large launch pad/test stand for ROC launches would be
cool and we probably wouldn’t need the contribution of many people to do it.
We could use the pad at Black Rock for XPRS or BALLS. Again, I’m offering to
buy the trailer for the project.
