This is the launch of my senior-class project at UCSD. It was a hybrid rocket, burning nitrous oxide and a rubber grain. It was supposed to measure pressure as it went up, or something like that, I don't recall. I do remember that the nose cone only ejected because the engine shut off and it started decelerating at two gees, instead of our incredibly reliable ejection charge. This was the only class in college with which I got to play with explosives. Go aerospace engineering!
I'd like to note that this is actually filler, but I've got three things going on at once right now, and they'll all be up shortly. I hope.
