This video is from my 2002 flight to over 30,000ft on an N-3500. Unfortunately at that altitude, the dual deployment 2 gram charges were not enough to separate the airframe, and the whole thing came in ballistic. Incredible video from the last seconds of this rocket's life!!

Unfortnately, in rocketry this stuff happens every now and again!

  • HA! Some folks think an N-3500 could be limited to 3,000 ft!! With nearly 2,000 lbs of thrust, a rocket would have to weigh so much it would not be stable to keep it that low!.. Learn more by searching for more information online....

  • @bigrocket99 N-3500 in a pyramid rocket = about 300 feet stable. :)

  • It reminds me of mission breifing in Mechwarrior 3.

  • That awkward moment when you're on a commercial airliner at cruising altitude and you look out the window and see a rocket...

  • I hate losses of rockets. what cam is that and how much does it cost for that cam.
