M1955 dark matterWhat AT demo motor is this?
Has this been found yet? If not, PM a message to me with a photo of it, and we will keep an eye out. Also let us know if you simmed the flight and had an estimated altitude.
Some photos of my Big @$$ Alpha, which flew Saturday on an L1040 Dark Matter Motor. Launch photos are courtesy of Dan Michael, and LOC Precision. Onboard were video snapshots captures from a #18 1080P keychain camera with 120 degree wide angle lens.
The shock cord snapped at apogee, but both booster (which descended under the drogue chute) and payload (which came down under the main) were recovered with only minor damage. It will definitely fly again.

There were rockets returned to the museum manager on Tuesday and Wednesday, the farmers has a couple at his barns as well.
What was the shock cord made of. Didn't look to be a hard ejection at all.
