Comments
FIreball ejected N/C and recovery out the top, and the MMT out the back, all on the pad. AF was propelled up and off the rail (Apogee/DynaStar Snarky off a 1/4" rod, 6 feet long) by the MMT ejection reaction. Max "altitude" was about 10 feet. Both the motor case and the Snarky tubes are clean inside!
