N Project: 6" Glass Fibre/Carbon Fibre Rocket, Part 2



Further images illustrating the construction of the 6" glass fibre/carbon fibre N-motor rocket designed for the BALLS 10 experimental launch at Black Rock Desert in Nevada, in 2000.

Top photo shows Professor Trubowitz test-fitting an aft metal flange to the 98 mm Dr. Rocket N2000 aluminium motor case at what was then the Leonhardstrasse machine shop of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, in September 2000.

Lower two photos show the main carbon and glass fibre components of the rocket laid out after the installation of the fin unit and before cutting the upper airframe section to length.
