"Ragnarok," the Scandinavian god of War, is said to be one of the most awesome figures in Scandinavian Folklore. The orbital interceptor "Ragnarok" has been developed to protect the Earth from any hostile alien invasion. Powered by 2 atomic engines, the interceptor is 255 feet long and weighs over 330 tons. To get this tremendous craft to its cruising altitude of 200,000 feet takes about 8 minutes. After entering the stratosphere the interceptor will level off and cruise at about 8,000 m.p.h. At this pace it will circle the Earth in about 3 hours.
The interceptor is completely shielded by a special alloy for protection from harmful rays and to withstand the severe cold of space and the tremendous heat generated by re-entry.
Power for the interceptor comes from two incredible atomic engines that develop 1,000,000 pounds of thrust each and are powered by a nuclear reactor located directly under the trailing edge of the wing. The Uranium-powered reactor superheats steam and under controlled release, gives the tremendous thrust. The metal alloy then returns to the reactor for reheating.
The interceptor is manned by a crew of 12 consisting of a pilot, co-pilot, three flight engineers, radio man, navigator, two in-flight technicians, two nuclear weapons experts and a support craft pilot.
Armament for interception and protection from alien craft consists of five nuclear device rockets. These rockets are storedwithin the fuselage and are launched by means of opening the rocket-bay door from the sealed chamber. Another form of protection is the small support craft housed in the tail of the interceptor. This craft is armed with multiple laser weapons capable of penetrating two feet of solid steel. The support craft can fly at attack speed of up to 30,000 m.p.h. for limited time.
The cost of the interceptor has been staggering--approximately 100 million dollars (many times that in experimental costs) - but the nuclear interceptor is on patrol in space ready to repel any alien attack.
