Qu8k - MultiCam On-board Video - High Altitude Rocket Launch
Loading...
Uploaded by d3deville on Oct 11, 2011
Showing the views from a FlipHD and a GoPro side by side you get a first hand view of what it is like to fly to 121,000 feet. These cameras flew on September 30, 2011 at 11:08am on Derek Deville's Qu8k (pronounced "Quake") launched from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada before returning safely to earth.
A plastic cover that was protecting the protruding portion of the GoPro began to melt due to aerodynamic heating and can be seen as streaks passing by the lens. A small bit of this molten plastic re-solidifies over a portion of the lens.
Being above 99% of the atmosphere, the sky turns black in the middle of the day and the curvature of the earth is clearly visible. The rocket motor produced 4,000 lbs of thrust for 8 seconds accelerating the vehicle to over Mach 3.

Was this a single deployment design? My current project to 35k involves a drogue at apogee, and a main at around 4,000ft. It would be awesome to use a single deployment, but I worry that it would drift outside of the range of our radio equipment. How did you relocate the rocket?

Amazing footage! Looks like allot of hard work went into this! I hear a noise that almost sounds like birds chirping as the rocket nears the apex! What is that sound I wonder?
