thE TEST LAUNCH
Some nice images of the Test Launch showing ignition and chute deployment
the team working
This was the day the team built a smaller scaled rocket to test their design
AMAZING, how much thrust is required to get the appropriate initial lift.
Lift, drag and thrust seen here working together as the aerodynamic forces are generated lifting its weight acting upon its center of pressure.
If you want to get into orbit around the Earth, you need to reach speeds of at least 4.9 miles per second, or about 17,600 miles per hour. If you want to completely escape Earth's gravity and travel to another moon or planet, though, you need to be going even faster - at a speed of at least 7 miles per second or about 25,000 miles per hour.
These rockets are in different stages of exiting the atmosphere. Below is a list of the principal layers of the structure of the atmosphere.
Exosphere: 700 to 10,000 km (440 to 6,200 miles)
Thermosphere: 80 to 700 km (50 to 440 miles)[9]
Mesosphere: 50 to 80 km (31 to 50 miles)
Stratosphere: 12 to 50 km (7 to 31 miles)
Troposphere: 0 to 12 km (0 to 7 miles)[10]
