              S3 team member Joel Faure compleded a simulation based on a single stage Q motor liftoff at Launch Complex 10.  Said Joel of his work:

The preliminary splash simulation of the S3 neglects any recovery or payload mass. However the current simulation gives us an idea of how high the rocket will launch in differing conditions. There are a few unknowns however it will be resolved once the preliminary simulations are unnecessary. Splash is actually an easy program to use once properly understood. Splash’s simulation files are like any other rocket simulation program but it allows the user to export the data files and it also gives the 10 most probable areas of touchdown by geographical coordinates.
