FTB [Avibr�s]
The FTB or Fogtrein-B (Foguetes de Treinamento - B�sico) is a smallest of a family of Brazilian training rocket created jointly by the Air Force Command (COMAER) and Avibr�s.
The rockets are used for testing, qualification and training of teams in the Alc�ntara Launch Center (CLA) and the Barreira do Inferno Launch Center (CLBI).
These vehicles are designed to be launched in adverse conditions such as high salinity, winds up to 10 m/s and rain up to 10 mm/h . All models will admit payloads (5 kg to 30 kg), with electric networks and telemetry equipment, along experiments of interest in the academic and scientific community.
FTB is a vehicle with a diameter of 0.127 m and a length of 3.04 m. The 68 kg rocket can achieve an apogee height of 30 km. It is derived from the SS-30 artillery rocket.
The mission of FTB is to be a model for operational training of a launch center, in isolation, without participation of the remote station for redundant monitoring vehicle, with telemetry in S band and apogee greater than 30 km.
