Do you have a link to the papers for the Black Arrow / Black Knight design
paper that includes technical details? I have only ever seen non technical
papers or technical ones that were not particularly detailed.

This is more out of curiosity on my side as most of the peroxide work that
I have done is smaller monopropellant and that work relies heavily on the
1960's NASA work like NASA TN D-1808 and NASA TN D-516.

I may have missed the 1998 Arocket discussion as I was more focused on
lacrosse than rockets at age 16.

way to start, but no, still no word of it mentioned so far on this list. It
was, 20 years ago, though.

Sigh, it seems indeed the wheel is being invented for the n-th time. To
what purpose? Emails on AR?
