[2] My Rocket Construction

[Guest ThatCrazyPilot]

Hello, I am currently building my new rocket. I am not decided about it\'s name as of now, neater the payload, but I have a spare chute left. Anyone has any ideas for a neat looking satellite (tin foil should do the trick)?

Specs:

Height (Current): ~0.0m

Weight (Current): ~0g

Engine: C6-5 (Single-staged)

Materials (Current): ---

Accepted suggestions:

Sputnik (GroundHOG-2010)

Make a tin foil ball and tack thick paper that has a solar panel design on either end.

Buran, but on a smaller scale

Try recreating Sputnik.

Scale model replica of an N1. Also make it explode lots.

I only use solid fuel at the moment. I can still make the N-1, but cmon - i don\'t want to cause a disaster... =P

Yes, i will make it out of aluminum foil and aluminum. Great idea.

I\'d recommend a ping-pong ball spray-painted with silver paint, and some bits of wire attached to it with glue. Foil would look like a sputnik that\'s been through a washing machine.

I would love to, but it is just too hard to recreate. Maybe next time, when I have more experience.

Good idea!

I will get into detail after I figure the scale of the rocket. BTW, foil can be left unbent and look smoothly.

Hey, add my Dragon trunk idea!

TW, foil can be left unbent.

Not if you\'re making a sphere out of it.

Right... Sputnik looks almost like pure chrome. I will try to use aluminum, but that\'s probably a bad idea.
