This is the Dark Matter Level-2 Rocket Launch! This rocket is equipped with a 'Dark Matter' motor, meaning the motor burn produces dark, sparkling smoke -- truly a sight to behold!
What You'll See in This Video:
- A Level 2 high-power rocket certification flight
- The Dark Matter motor effect: dark, sparkling exhaust plume
- Full launch sequence from countdown to recovery
- Two-stage parachute deployment
What is a Level 2 Certification?
A Level 2 certification allows you to fly high-power rockets on H and I impulse motors. It requires passing a written exam and a successful demonstration flight witnessed by a certified NAR or TRA member. Level 2 is the intermediate certification between Level 1 (E-G motors) and Level 3 (J+ motors).
What is a Dark Matter Motor?
Dark Matter is a special propellant formulation that produces a visually striking dark exhaust with bright sparks during the burn. It's popular for demonstration flights and certification launches because of its dramatic visual effect.
