There is an amateur rocket group in Australia called Ausroc. In 1989 they launched their first rocket, a liquid fueled rocket based upon a modified Pacific Rocket Society design. This rocket, called Ausroc I was launched on 9 Feb. 1989 from the army proving ground at Puckapunyal. The flight lasted one minute, reaching 3 km in altitude and 161 m/s. The group is now preparing to launch an all Australian rocket from Woomera (which has previously put 2 satellites into orbit). Ausroc is also working on a third liquid fueled rocket called Ausroc III. The specifications of Ausroc I are Length 2600 mm Propellant mass 6 kg Diameter 100 mm Fueled mass 25 kg Thrust 1274 N Mass ratio 0.24 Burn time 8 s Sensors pressure transducer Specfifc impulse 1765 m/s Transmitter 400.5 MHz FM Fuel Furfuryl Alcohol Propellant feed method Fuel mass 1.65 kg Pressure blow down Fuel volume 1.5 l Fuel vol ratio 2:1 Oxidiser Nitric Acid Ignition method Hyperbolic combustion Oxidiser mass 4.35 kg Chamber pressure 1.38 MPa Oxidiser volume 3 l Recovery system Parachute Pressurisation gas Nitrogen Stabilisation 4 fins Tank pressure 2 MPa Dry mass 19 kg
