Testing an aluminum 15-inch diameter tank to its bursting point, shot at 300fps. This one gives way at 460 PSI. The point of a test like this is to see if the test tank would meet our needs in terms of how much it weighs vs. how much pressure it can hold, and what margins we’d have to stay within to safely use it on an actual rocket.

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!
