Hello Ethan,

At least I now have an explanation why my number is so far off. Of course that does not help with the TNE FF&S space missile procedure. I've looked at a couple spreadsheets I downloaded from other people and they do not appear to follow the procedures on page 146 of TNE FF&S.

Thank you for the reply.

Striker should give completely wrong values, since it assumes air resistance and gravity.

Hello all,

I tried following Thomas Jones-Low's suggestion of building space missiles for a 100 d-ton missile bay using CT Striker Books 2 and Book 3. Everything is fine until I get to the propellant entry when I enter the range of 30,000 km the calculated propellant needed is about 726 m^3.

I've found a completed Excel Spreadsheet for TNE FF&S Space Missiles. The only samples of spaces missiles I've fond in my PDF copies are in FF&S p. 153 and Brilliant Lances Technical Booklet which is missing the TL 8 space missile.

Does anyone know of aid for designing TNE space missiles for either Microsoft Office or OpenOffice?
