Summary

[edit]
Description

For some time, I have wanted to capture a rocket launch from the camera mounted on another airborne rocket. I don’t know why. Maybe because it is <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/74545147">difficult</a>, or sounds cool.

I got lucky on Saturday, when a large Nike Smoke (in black <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/2099431753">here</a>) went screaming up as <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/1844757827">my rocket</a> was drifting back over the flight line by parachute.

Here you can see the parking area out at Snow Ranch and the launch control area.

I got a number of frame grabs, but the video is a dizzy spin. I wonder if a metal swivel between rocket and parachute could prevent the twirling dance on the return….
