WORLD WIDE WEB — Art Upton of BoosterVision has released a short video of the RUMP Aerospace two-stage M-to-M flight from this year's XPRS launch. Jim Russell, Scott Miller and Mark Palmer's two-stage rocket featured a Lokie M1882 staged to an Ellis Mountain M1000.
According to Art, "Many folks have had trouble lighting an Ellis at mean sea level, these guys lit an Ellis at more then 10,000 feet!" The flight was a quick kick off the pad, then staging delay, and then a long burn. The flight went to about 47,000 feet AGL.
The video, in Windows™ Media Video (WMV) format, is 5:35 minutes running time and appoximately 65Mb. To view the video, visit: http://boostervision.com/wmv/MtoM.wmv Windows® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and other countries.
