Barbarella (rocket)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barbarella was the name of the first German hybrid missile . It was developed at the beginning of the 1970s by students from the Technical University of Munich under the direction of Robert Schmucker and W. Schauer and launched on March 12, 1974 from the jack-up platform Barbara in the Baltic Sea. The Barbarella had a thrust of 370 N and used a toluidine - aminophenol mixture and red fuming nitric acid as fuel .

The Scientific Working Group for Rocket Technology and Space Travel (WARR), which was founded in 1962 by R. Schmucker as a student group at the Technical University of Munich, was largely responsible for the development of Barbarella .

The Barbarella is exhibited today in the Deutsches Museum in Munich .
