Comments
Burned less than half a second on pad before blowing out nose cone and catching fire to the rocket. Inspection of motor after incident shows only damage to the bulkhead throat, with everything else appearing normal. Unclear if damage to bulkhead was cause or result of CATO. Pictures available.
