  • @piggoy It's actually NO2 gas. Probably just venting that from the oxidiser tank. Either way not nice stuff but thankfully not in great quantities either.

  • 0:44 it looks like it's venting N2O4. That must be really bad for the environment.

  • If a Dnepr rocket-aka an SS-18 ICBM can launch into LEO a satellite, it can also launch into an orbital pathway a single warhead

  • @scotjack I've built a couple flying models. I studied Chemistry for a while before giving it up to work in IT. Ooops.

  • @richardpurves Thank you. (How do you guys know so much about rockets?)

  • @scotjack The fuel used by this rocket is hypergolic ... or explodes when mixed. No external ignition is necessary.

  • @CrowTHuman That would be the solid-propellant gas generator that is used to pressurize the fuel tanks. When the tanks are pressurized, the excess gasses are bled off.

  • this beast called ss-18 satan, it consider the most powerful missile ever built, it can carry 10 warheads at once. proudly it's Russian
