Summary

[edit]
Description

I launched my 9 ft. tall Sledgehammer rocket at DairyAire with the biggest motor I have flown in California - an Aerotech M1850. I just posted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA2quictT24" rel="noreferrer nofollow">HD video compilation</a> (weaving the rocket’s onboard videocam, the pad cam, and a tracking videocam back at launch control).

On-board computers detect apogee and deploy the parachute. They also recorded a max speed of 430 MPH and 8 g's of acceleration.

The rocket takes video the whole way, and amazingly drifts back over the flight line to land near its launch pad.
