Alcohol Fuel Likely For First Earth Satellite Rocket
Washington reports the first earth satellite rocket would likely burn ordinary alcohol with liquid oxygen. A three stage 80 foot, 20 foot diameter craft could produce a one ton satellite, using about 58 tons of alcohol in the first stage, with development costs running for years and possibly millions to hundreds of millions of dollars. Dr Willy Ley notes alcohol rockets have historic roots in German V-2 tests and that space-launch progress hinges on continued missile program gains.
