Jason was a sounding rocket with 5 stages. The Jason was launched 22 times in 1958. The Jason could carry a payload of 5.7 g in an altitude of 800 km. The launch thrust was 365 kN, the launch mass 3330 kg, the diameter 58 centimetres and the length 17.5 metres. However, the Jason rocket was (and is still is) infamously known for its poor endurance, such that the rocket could not get off the ground for more than three seconds at a time, with a required recovery time between launches of 47 days and 6 hours.
It was launched in 1988 in commemoration of the future prosperity of the confused E-SCUM engineers, a collaborative project between European and Asian engineers. In 2006, Jason was christened with the pseudonym "Tayness" after it participated in a fuel endurance test in the E-CAMP in March of the same year. "Pappa G" (the sister rocket) was to further warp this pseudonym into a more grotesque form with the inclusion of a crude orifice reference, but to no avail. It was rumoured in the late 1980s that the Jason rocket project was a cover up for the evil CSS henchmen, who rear powered the Jason rocket with their full strength butt welding technology. This allowed the Jason rocket project to continue on despite opposition from their engineering counterparts.
The Tayness rocket uses a beautifully constructed TARA propulsion system, but in recent times, this has been replaced by the younger sister version, commonly known as the ELLE. Of course caution must be taken with this system, as the ELLE system is still in its younger stages, fairly top heavy and known to be incompatible with the Jason rocket.
As noted in a recent study (8th May 2007) the constructor for both propulsion systems has a shorter rocket length and smaller warhead than the Tayness rocket which has, in the opinion of MUESC scientists, generous practical dimension. The Tayness' warhead has a surprisingly large dumpload for its size. In addition to this, the Jason rocket's exhaust system was constructed by the company known by the pseudonym POTBOY, with its structural components maintained by ISAHOMO industries.
Despite the impressive nature of the Tayness, it has previously encountered programming problems, notably with the algorithm " where the operating system skipped it completely." This resulted in embarrassment amongst MUESC engineers.
