Our model will be a faithful, one-sixth scale reproduction of the prototype Canadian Arrow. The following description is from the official Canadian Arrow website.

The Canadian Arrow is a 54-ft long, two-stage, three person sub-orbital rocket with the second stage doubling as an escape system. The first stage is 33.5 ft. long and 5.4 ft. in diameter with four fins at the base for aerodynamic stability.

A single 57,000-lb thrust liquid propellant rocket engine propels the first stage. The first stage propellants are fed to the engine using a pressurized gas system. This system is made up of two propellant tanks for fuel and oxidizer, topped by a single composite construction high-pressure gas sphere. Steering of the vehicle is accomplished using graphite jet vanes and aerodynamic flaps on the fins.

The second stage (3 person crew cabin) is twenty feet long and 5.4 ft. in diameter at the base, and contains four JATO type rocket engines for second stage propulsion. These solid fuel rockets can be fired at anytime during the flight, including an emergency launch pad abort.

Be sure to fully explore the official Canadian Arrow website. It is chock full of information, photos and links to all sorts of space exploration sites. I for one cannot wait to go Space Diving!
