由民间集资独自开发用于发射低轨道卫星火箭的美国火箭公司(Amroc),预定在1987年年底进行火箭低轨道飞行试验。目前,它正和美国空军交涉使用加利福尼亚州的范登堡空军基地发射台。其火箭是采用固体燃料(聚丁二烯+橡胶)和液体氧化剂(液氧)组合而成的混合型火箭。1986年12月已借用爱德华兹空军基地进行了火箭发动机静态燃烧试验,发动机直径为1.1米,内装燃料约1360公斤,氧化剂约3630公斤。海平面推力为15200公斤,比冲 Privately-funded Amroc, a low-orbiting satellite rocket launched exclusively by private sources, is scheduled to launch a rocket low orbit flight test by the end of 1987. Currently, it is negotiating with the U.S. Air Force to use the launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket is a hybrid rocket that uses a combination of solid fuel (polybutadiene + rubber) and liquid oxidizer (liquid oxygen). December 1986 has borrowed Edwards Air Force Base rocket engine static combustion test, the engine diameter of 1.1 meters, containing about 1360 kilograms of fuel, about 3630 kilograms of oxidants. Sea level thrust is 15200 kg, more than red
