Vehicle 89



Top: Vehicle 89, a vaguely Enerjet-inspired sport model rocket with a 130 mm payload section. Vehicle 89 is based on the earlier Vehicle 69, originally designed to carry the then state-of-the-art Estes AstroCam aerial camera. Vehicle 89 measures 611 mm in length and 34 mm in diameter. It was built with Estes parts, and it was intended to be flown with 24 mm D or E motors.

Bottom: Vehicle 89 and Vehicle 77, an approximate hommage to the fantastic Enerjet Nike Ram advanced model rocket of the early 1970s. Both photos were taken in Zurich, Switzerland, in June of 2016.
