The afternoon flights of Armadillo Aerospace's Modular vehicle attempting level 1 of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge at the X PRIZE Cup. October 27th, 2007, Holloman AFB, New Mexico.
The asymmetric thrust issue hopefully should not happen next time since they have switched from the graphite engine nozzle to a film cooled steel nozzle which should be much less susceptible to cracking.
i was the second one to launch the mini rocket and mine hit the groud first, but thats because the parachute caught air like 10 feet from the ground, 0 casualties
Nice backfire.
