description
Ejection charge deployed while motor was under thrust, roughly 100’ off the launch pad
Comments
Motor burned for roughly 0.5s after ignition before failure, and continued to burn briefly after ejection charge went off. O-rings around delay grain were confirmed in position during post-mortem. Forward closure was undamaged and showed no signs of burn-by at oring between closure and case. Used chinese e-match as an igniter.
