Tiger Tim propulsion system - test flights
Situations are stacking up on Cymru III now. Dilwyn accidentally fired off all the propellant intended for the return trip when he left Callisto, so now we have to ensure we can get him off Europa again once he lands on the surface. If only for insurance purposes. We ground based boffins have been working hard on that score, and here are photographs from our latest experiments. It's a very old technology, but we believe that Chinese Lanterns may just have the answer. But not fuelled with the rubbishy little square things they come with, but proper, Welsh built "Tiger Tim" firelighters instead. Add that to the extreme parkiness* on Europa and it might, in a thousand years, work.
Anyway, the test firing was a complete success. We managed to find an Edwin lookalike woodlouse to give back to Rhodri, we set a neighbour's haystack on fire, and Dilwyn thinks we're doing something constructive. All in a day's work here at Britain's premier space agency - the Welsh Space Agency.
