Ben Brockert | XA-0.1 B-750 Flight 16 2009.07.24 @bbrockert | Uploaded July 2009 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
The sixteenth flight of Masten Space Systems (masten-space.com/) XA-0.1B-750 VTVL rocket vehicle.
In this test the vehicle was programmed to fly side-to-side (a translation through space). The camera was on a tripod, zip tied to the frame, looking down.
The odd streakiness is scanning artifacts of the camera. You can tell that the vehicle gains altitude because the concrete stops glowing.
Four flights in one day is our current record.
