UPAerospace SpaceLoft

Does anyone know much about the solid rocket motor used by the UPAerospace SpaceLoft rocket?<br /><br />http://www.newscientistspace.com/channel/space-tech/dn9323-new-mexico-aims-high-with-its-space-plans.html<br /><br />Since it only burns for 15 seconds, my initial impression was that this is basically an amatuer rocket on steroids. Am I wrong?<br /><br /> - Ed Kyle

From what it looks like, pretty much. It's just a commercial sounding rocket, so it doesn't have to go very high or fast. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated.
