[amsat-bb] Re: Model Rocket Booster Engine for Picosatellite

David;
There are some much bigger motors! Ask the Level-3 rocketry folks! 
Anyway a cluster of medium sized motors could be fired individually as 
required to raise altitude. I would think that SRB's would be more 
reliable and safer than hypergolic used on previous Oscars. There would 
of course be a lot of heat in the rocket casings that would need to be 
dissipated.
