RE: [GZG] Acceleration

Most of the current limitations are due to atmosphere effects.	I would
think that solid state components would be able to sustain 10s of G
forces.
IIRC Traveller assumed humans could sustain up to 6G for prolonged
periods.

Subject: [GZG] Acceleration

The list is too quiet and I'm trying my hand at writing, so looking for
some
informed input here.
Does anyone here have any comments on what reasonable acceleration
limits
might be? Thinking of using a magnetic or perhaps gravitic accelerator
to
boost a Full Thrust missile, so the main questions are:

a) would the mag fields involved in throwing the missile be likely to
screw
up the missile sensors / hardware? If so, can we get around that with
some
(mild/moderate/major?) modifications to the missile package? Is
something
likely to melt?

b)what kind of physical accelaration can a missile reasonably be
expected to
stand? I'd like to get a "we can currently build stuff that will take X
g's
and in theory we can get it up to Y g's".
