| Information For The Lune r-1 |
| The Semroc Lune R-1 was introduced in the 1969 Semroc catalog 12. Inspired by several of the early sounding rockets, the Lune R-1 was designed to be similiar in construction and performance to the Centuri Arcon, a popular ST-10 based payload model rocket kit. The Lune R-1 was Semroc #KB-8 and was one of the most popular Semroc kits. The re-release of the Lune R-1 is updated with precision laser cut fins which replace the original pre-cut fins. The original body tube sizes are maintained. The balsa nose cone and nose block are original dimensions. The original rubber shock cord is replaced with an elastic cord for longer life. The original method of attaching the shock cord has been replaced by a Kevlar cord for greater reliability. The earliest version of the Lune R-1 had a motor hook. The final version had a paper nozzle shroud and did not have a motor hook. This model is based on the earliest version without the nozzle shroud. |
