Hi All,

I'm trying to identify this "Aurora Plastics Corp. Rocket Fuel" -







Click to embiggen

The ebay auction simply stated "Each box contains 2 packs of Mark III Interceptor Missile Concentrated Liquid Fuel and 1 pack of Mark III Interceptor Missile Reactor Pellets. These are old stock from Aurora, probably from the 1960's. These are still sealed."

From what I have been able to work out, the 'Concentrated Liquid Fuel' powder forms an acid and the 'Reactor Pellets' are an alkali - the reaction is much like vinegar and sodium bicarbonate.

I've googled all I can and haven't been able to find anything more about what rocket this was used in. Aurora Plastics did produce models but more along the lines of novelty stuff more than rockets.

I'm hoping that someone has seen these before and has an idea of what rocket they may have been used with.

Cheers,
Sascha.
