Here is model of Tsiolkovsky’s rocket project to interplanetary missions.
This is the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, used in every space rocket project.
\Delta u=V_{eq}\cdot ln\frac{mf}{me}
- \Delta u is the rocket speed variation;
- V_{eq} is the rocket exhaustion equivalent speed;
- mf is the rocket mass with propellant;
- me is the rocket mass without propellant.
This is the first soviet experimental stratospheric rocket. Launched in August 15, 1937 and reached 3,000 meters.
Model of R-1 rocket, the Soviet copy of german A-4, in 1:10 scale. Weighed 14.4 tons and had a range of 270 km.
