[SS-VehDev] launcher specs

[william colburn]

Guys,

We need to characterize the vehicle to provide specs
to the GSE people to firm up the launcher design.

I just ran RockSim (fairly accurate sim using military
developed algoriths) with and w/o launch lugs.

349K w/o and 331K with. Clearly the launchlugs will
have an effect on our flight.

If we are indeed s going to get 331K, we need not
worry, but I think the sims that Hans and Rich are
running hovere right at 100 km. So 4 KM would make a
difference.

I am going to address the group as a whole on this
issue and we should be working behind the scenes to
come up with a recommendation.
