Comments
The motor blew out the rear closure. The propellant then burned. This is the 7th failure of E28-7 motors that the Harmony Science Academy - Houston ARC team has had. All destroyed the rockets. It was recommended that the team not reuse the housings after the failures and all were new housings at the time of failure. This was the seventh failure of this type and all were from the same batch/date code.
