| Information For The Triton |
| The Triton was designed in 1968 by George Corbett, Vice President of Semroc Astronautics as the first Semroc kit. Designed to be an entry level high performance model rocket, The Triton was about as simple as you could get. Using featherweight recovery, the rocket was very light and capable of high altitudes. If you could find the Triton, it was ready to fly again. The Triton was stock number KB-1. The repro Triton is updated by using laser-cut fins and an improved launch lug. The original balsa nose cone and body tube are still used. As in 1968, the body tube has a slightly larger inside diameter to make it easier to insert and remove the model rocket motor. The walls are about 70% thicker than most model rockets for higher durability. |
