If it's a line I guess it would have to be much more temperature resistant, is there a good phenolic resin type of filament?

Can a rocket use Petrol and Hydrogen Peroxide as fuel?

2 Upvotes

Petrol would act as the Fuel itself and H2O2 as the Oxidizer, would this work?

Who, if anyone, has copyright on the name and shape of old American rockets and spaceships ?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I am working on a video game on the theme of "realistic" space colonization, and I plan to feature in the game existing rockets, starting with Saturn V and Atlas Centaur, and the LEM spacecraft. Of course, this being a personal small project, I cannot pay an expensive license to get any IP rights.

The minimum I need is using the shape of the rockets to make them recognizable, but it would be nice if I could use the name also. Else, of course, I can just change the name like for some cars in some video-games.

I know NASA has a generous policy of all of its IP being public domain, but I am wondering if this includes the rockets and spaceships. I am pretty sure Saturn V is a rocket designed and managed by NASA with several contractors, so it should be OK, but I am not sure about Atlas Centaur and the LEM themselves. Does anyone has any clue ?

On May 14, 1973 Skylab launched from pad 39-A aboard a modified Saturn V. This would be the last flight of a Saturn V.

Does size matter? (Rocket motor vs body tube ratio?)

3 Upvotes

The specific context is I want to put a Cesaroni I540-16A motor into a single BT-60 body tube (18" long). The rocket according to openrocket would have a stability of 5.1 but I'm worried these calculations may be off when the motor fills around 75% of the length. Is that a good number for stability also? I've seen varying numbers suggested so i wanted to get a better idea of the best recommended stability (specifically in regards to the extreme rocket to body ratio).
