Rocket Video
Here is a video looking down from a 14' tall X 8.75" diameter rocket! It was launched on 3 K1275 motors and airstarted a M1315 2 seconds into the flight. It deploys a drogue parachute at apogee and the main is deployed at 1500'. I was a little concerned that the CVS camera may not hold up to the G's those motor would make it pull, but they held up fine! The rocket went 8500' high. http://media.putfile.com/Extreme-Endeavour-Downward-Video

Holy crap what are you NASA!! Very impressive. No audio though??? Must have sounded pretty wild.

holy crap is right! :shock: back when I was flying modrocs an F (80 newton/secs) was the ne plus ultra of engines... very, very nice work... I remember that Gerry Gregorek, professor of Aeronautical Engineering at some midwestern university posted a challenge to whomever could verifiably hit 1 mile. With boost like that, I could've been doing the Superior Dance at the MIT model rocketry convention... of course Richard Nixon was still president then... :lol:

Nicely done. Where and when was the launch? And yes these cameras are pretty tough. I had two on a rocket that had a chute failure and fell over 3000 feet, I got video off of one and not knowing any better overwrote the video on the other one. Both cameras survived and were later used in other rockets.

Nevermind on the when and where, I found it referenced elsewhere. I was a bit confused, however, as there was a color in the video that we do not see out here in the southwest, I think it is called 'green', but I could be wrong ... :wink:

NASA! No, we're not even close to what other amateur rocketeers are doing out there. One guy went over 93,000' last year! This was launched at Midwest Power 5 in Princeton, IL on October 28th. Here's a few more pics of the project and the launch! http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032239 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032240 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032241 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032234 And here are a few of the camera bay. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032235 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032236 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7032238

Videos with sound
Here are the two videos from our launch. This is looking down using a mirror http://media.putfile.com/Extreme-Endeavour-Downward-Video-80 And this is looking our at the horizon. (this one could make you dizzy!) http://media.putfile.com/Extreme-Endeavour-Looking-out-Video

That side view looks alot more cool than I had expected. I will have to try that with my next setup. Some of my videos are now posted at my website http://www.geocities.com/rocketsmith57/cameras.htm. Nevada has among the best launches as far as altitude is concerned, there at least two 100,000' waivered launches at Delmar a year and two 100,000' waivered launches at Black Rock a year. I was at Delmar a couple of years ago, I am still blowing Delmar Dust out of my launch equipment.

I really would like to make it out to Black Rock one of these days, but I'm sure it will be a while. Once the kids get a little older, I can see that being a nice vacation. As good as you guys have it, us Midwesterners have have lots of wide open spaces now that the corn has been harvested. I'll have a few trips up to Three Oaks this winter to launch on that field. Once the temps get down below freezing, it really separates the men from the boys!

Got that right about the cold separating the men from the boys. I had a 150acre ranch in the high rockies (~8,000') of Colorado for 12 years. 30 below zero mornings sure do wake you up. My wife is an AZ girl, so if I get the time to go to one of those launches it will be just me and my two boys. I did manage to convince her that Virginia would be nice in July, so NARAM-50 bound are we - my oldest is competing this year.
