Vehicle 39 A Enigma launching from customized theodolite metal tripod on a Flight Systems E60-8 mid-power black powder motor. This was the rocket's first flight.
Vehicle 39 was built during March and April of 1986, loosely based on a design for a smaller rocket constructed by my best friend Dave Sharma in 1978. Utilizing CMR and Estes parts, Vehicle 39 measured 835 mm in length and 41.5 and 29.5 mm in diameter. It was originally intended to be flown with Flight Systems E and F motors and later converted for use with Aerotech motors.
