I was watching some flight footage of the Little Joe today and noticed that when launched, all four Sergeant motors were burning full throttle, and then several seconds into flight, it appears two of the solid rocket motors were essentially shut down to the point where just a lazy flame was coming out of them and then quite a few seconds later, the throttled back motors, would come back up to full thrust in what seem like a planned sequence. I was wondering if any of you knew or understood how that was accomplished and why they did it that way instead of letting all four burn at full thrust.
Thanks,
David
