The Viking Rocket
More Rockets and Missiles

The V-2 Rocket is one of the most recognizable rockets and this site is designed to provide as much information about the post-war life of the V-2 rocket as possible. Most of the information is geared toward the individual paint schemes for the many rounds launched. 

My name is William Beggs, Jr.  and I became involved with sport rocketry in January of 1997. My first rocket was scratch built from parts ordered from Aerotech.   The rocket was about a meter in length and was flown on a G75, RMS motor. From that moment on I was hooked. Since that time, I've flown many rockets with motors ranging from "1/4A" to "N". I am currently a member of Albuquerque Rocket Society (ARS). I was previously a member of Tripoli Colorado and NCR. I am Level 3 certified and a member of, Tripoli (#5258) and NAR (#70094). I am also a TAP member with Tripoli for certifying Level 3 projects. 

The main reason I chose to provide information about the V-2 is that it is the one rocket in my mind that sticks out as starting the race for space, as well as the hobby of rocketry.

I have also, more recently, added many more rockets. The Viking link was added since it was basically the follow on to the V-2 and all the other ones were added based on trips that I took to White Sands Missile Range. I add data as often as I can and try to note any updates. 

If you find this web site useful please let me know. I appreciate all comments and questions regarding the information I have provided. Thank you for taking the time to look.
