From Arun's article



Agni II (AT) range is



>4500 km @ 1000 kg payload



and from one of his earlier comments



>6000 km @ 600 kg payload[/quote]



Given that the upper stage is 1 m dia, it would also contain lesser fuel (compared to my estimate of 5 years ago), per unit length. Once we know teh actual length of teh stage, I can estimate the fuel inside and using ROCKSIM tell its range versus payload.



Incidentally at least 2 countries have checked ROCKSIM and have found its results compares closely with their inhouse full fledged missile flight simulation software application. As my friend says, dont know what magic voodoo logic is in the ROCKSIM, but it always gives the correct result.
