- |Anyone familiar with the SPARTAN Anti-Ballistic Missile?
- |
- |I have a chance to pick some up at government surplus and
- |wonder if I can do anything useful with them.
- |
- |The first stage is a modified ZEUS booster that burns for
- |about five seconds, is 43 inches in diameter, 163 inches
- |long, specific impulse of 198 lb/sec?, total weight 12 thousand
- |pounds. Sorry for the antique units but too lazy to convert.
- |
- |The second stage burns for 20 seconds, is the same diameter
- |and 202 inches long, specific impulse of 219 ??, total weight
- |of 14 thousand pounds.
- |
- |The third stage has a spherical motor with 659 pounds of
- |propellant.
- |
- |That's all I know about them for now. Let me know if you
- |want some.
