Project MOBIUS


Goal: To design and build a high-altitude rocket

Discription: Project MOBIUS was started with the aim of designing and launching a multi-stage, extreme high-altitude rocket. If successful, it will be the first such launch made by a micro-nation. The Project will have multiple phases, with each phase a step closer to the final goal. MOBIUS will also be the RMA's first attempt at both a multi-stage rocket, and a multi-engined rocket (multiple engines on a single stage).

Builder/Contractor: Romano Technologies

Phase 1: Testing multi-stage rockets

Phase 2: Development of multi-engined rocket

Phase 3: Combining concepts from Stages 1 and 2 into a single rocket. Extreme-high altitude test is achieved.

Phase 4 (future goal): Achieving low-Earth orbit.


Design Proposals:

Hedgehog-class High-Altitude Rocket: Primary rocket of Project MOBIUS. Various models of this unit will be used to reach the altitude goals.

Emerald-class booster: Standard booster rocket for Project MOBIUS. Different versions will provide launching power for the 'Hedgehog'-class rocket. Can be stacked upon each other for multi-stage operations.

Echidna-class multi-engine test rocket: Will be used to test concepts for using multiple engines working together in a single stage.

SuperHog-class Sub-orbital Rocket: Final proposed design to achieve extreme high-altitude (in future, possible low-orbit). Will combine featured from all other MOBIUS designs.

Current Status


8/14/2010
At this time, two prototype rockets have been completed, one Hedgehog-class and one Echidna-class. Work has been started on the first Emerald-class boosters. However, all MOBIUS vehicals are still in storage in Illinois, USA. It is not known when they will be moved to Federation HQ and brought back online.
