Guess the rocket is name of the game. Post a picture or a videoclip of a rocket. The others will guess what the rocket is. The first one to come up with the right answer will post the next challenge.
I'll start out with a video and a picture: http://paranoid.dechengst.nl/forumimages/raket2.avi

You got it right, Rakhir. The Tsiklon-2 (Cyclone-2).
Bob, yes it is powered by UDMH (Nye-Simmetrichny Dimetil Gidrazin) and nitrogen tetroxide. The orange color is actually nitrogen dioxide, formed from the N2O4 (which is colorless). UDMH is a powerful reducing agent and ignites spontaneously when mixed with an oxydizing agent. Glushko and Yangel promoted this fuel mixture for ICBMs with rapid fueling and long readiness holding. Chemical starting is very smooth, compared to electric ignition of other fuels, which sometimes blows the engine apart. A "hard start" as they say. The Russians still like to start a rocket with UDMH/N2O4, even when LOX/Kerosine is the main fuel. Rakhir, your turn! |
