I think that was the problem. It wouldn't separate.

yeah I wouldn't think it would have the structural strength to stay together through those flips

Was it supposed to spin and blow up at the end?
Link Posted: 4/20/2023 9:39:36 AM EDT

It blew up trying to separate. Fail.

How many donuts did it do before they blew it?  Looked like 3 or 4.....pretty amazing it held together for all of that.

Success! That was awesome.

Holy cow. That was electrifying.


Will say though - it didn’t sound right. It wasn’t “smooth”. If it was a gasoline engine I’d say it was missing on one or more cylinders - is best way o can describe it.

It made it through Max-Q on the first go. Very impressive. Good test.

I so badly want to see the coarse and altitude tracking for this. Crazy it stayed together.

Wonder how the launch platform faired?
