Armadillo Aerospace Mod rocket ship flies on 2010.09.17
Friday’s successful launch of the Armadillo Aerospace ‘Mod’ rocket flying just over 2000 feet, from a launch stand to the center of the pad. These relatively low flights are for testing and verification of the flight controls under increased acceleration and higher wind speeds. This vehicle, or one like it, will be flying Commercial Reusable Suborbital Research (CRuSR) payloads for Nasa in the near future. Watch it twice so you can see the landing gear extend!

Armadillo Aerospace “Super Mod” tether test, 2010-09-11
Includes induced perturbations to test recovery from aerodynamic impulses, and the telescopic legs extending at the end. We were ready to free-flight after this test, but a two-hour FAA hold would have put us too late in the day. Will probably try for the free flight later today.
