Talk:Launch Escape System

Comparable to the Sepraton I?

Isn't this pretty much a front-mounted Sepratron? ThesaurusRex (talk) 13:44, 25 April 2014 (CDT)

Depends. The Sepratron I has only about 1/50 of the thrust of the LES, it has about half of the fuel but with a higher I_sp. Also the thrust is asymmetric. So I can't find a reason to say that it is a “front-mounted sepratron” but not one of the other SRBs. 16:11, 25 April 2014 (CDT)
