The current plan is to use the tank and engine assemblies that flew in the KISS-II configuration, increase the size of the main propellant plumbing in hopes of getting more flow and chamber pressure (which will increase the thrust), and add a high-pressure gas tank and a regulator forward of the propellant tank to provide on-board regulated pressurization. (Electronics enhancements, if any, are TBD at this point... we've got some ideas that we'll eventually want to use for the higher-thrust "Spike" flights, but we may well test those on smaller HPR vehicles while we go do the first KISS-III flights using an electronics setup similar to what we flew on KISS-II.) -dave w _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
