Rockets of large fuel capacity, with the rocket motor, pumps, and turbines previously developed.

American test vehicle. Section C tests would run through October 10, 1941 and represent the final Goddard rocket flight tests. The series of twenty-four static and flight tests (P13-P36) was made with rockets of large fuel capacity, with the rocket motor, pumps, and turbines previously developed. These rockets averaged nearly 22 ft in length, and were 18 in, in diameter. They weighed empty from 190 to 240 lb. The liquid-oxygen load averaged about 140 lb, the gasoline 112 lb, making "quarter-ton" loaded rockets.

Status: Retired 1941. First Launch: 1940-08-09. Last Launch: 1941-05-08. Number: 2 . Thrust: 3.04 kN (683 lbf). Gross mass: 220 kg (480 lb). Height: 6.70 m (21.90 ft). Diameter: 0.46 m (1.50 ft).
