N22

N22 Name: N22
Type: Hercules A1
Motor: AeroTech K550-W
Launch: NLD14, ASK 't Harde, 24 August 2001

The proven airframe, which started life as the N22, would fly again. This time for his last flight (so we thought). The rocket had a different motor, an AeroTech K550-W, which has the same performance as the proposed K2000 replacement. Also the R-DAS was expanded with a GPS module. The rocket had a good flight, this time leaving the tower with enough surplus speed. It reached an altitude of 1600 metres.
