Summary
DescriptionA glorious launch of my Red Mongoose rocket to Mach 1.4 (52387748282).jpg | My son and I have been going to the Black Rock Desert for 18 years now to launch our largest rocketry projects. Here is a video clip of our 10’-tall carbon fiber and fiberglass rocket going supersonic with a speaking GPS system. The GPS telemetry system on board connects to a Yagi-antenna tracker that also has a GPS so it can calculate relative positioning for recovery. She calls herself Kate, and you can hear her calling out altitude numbers in real time during the climb to just over 19K feet altitude and a peak velocity just over 1,000 MPH. But then we lost GPS and telemetry, so we have no idea where she went or whether she came back ballistic or not. This is perhaps the most frustrating outcome as we can’t analyze where things went wrong. All we know for now, is that rockets are hard. But there is still a chance… I have my name, cell phone number and the word “Reward!” written on all of the major airframe sections. The carbon-fiber base of this rocket has flown many times, and one on occasion, when it went missing on some farmlands, I got a call a year later for a joyous return. |
