This rocket is the same booster and body assembly as the rocket that took
these photos. However the payload assembly has been removed. This rocket flew with a standard Hypertek motor. I left the nosecone behind and had to make one out of cardboard, bubble-wrap, and tape. Worked great for a perfect flight. |

Here is the same rocket and payload at Woomera in January 1998. The only difference is the fin assembly has been replaced. |

Just leaving the pad. |

Motor still firing - launch pad can be seen in the distance. |

Under full steam..... |

Smoke trail in the distance. |

Ejection charges have fired. The booster section is separating just as the
rocket is arcing over. The parachute bungee can be seen. Altitude at this point is approximately 1,600 feet. |
