Launch Of Mongoose Rocket + Rocket Documentary By CivilianSpace

[Music] foreign [Music] rocket I can go up to above a thousand feet this could be my first launcher about three weeks it's just been very busy back to school for example and also 3D printing those of us are happy return to the total Space Channel I have been super busy my studio is broke down in several ways and I just kind of lost motivation for those kind of Civilian space X update videos I just felt repeat repeat repeat but that's a ministerial video Vlog style technical videos I'm looking forward to delivering more well guys there's officially launch day soon we're going to be heading to Launchpad to launch monster so um the ones are looking absolutely fantastic for today um last few days and should continue hopefully let's call it 9am I like to go for like a kind of early start for lunches so um try avoid clouds and make sure I can launch when I want to and this avoids any gives me time I'm redundancy and so that in case of any of the last minute issues so let's get out of it [Applause] [Music] the best way I would explain Amazon was the perfect test bed uh like me to test and the launch systems as well just make sure I'm assembling and doing things on the rocket correctly such as putting a recovery wording make sure I'm patting the parachute I was just a perfect way to learn arms and started with a few hop tests these were two about I'd say 50 70 feet this was even enough height to get the parachute to deploy but I just made sure the launch system was working correctly the engines were igniting and it still gives me an amazing frill I actually don't do any damage to the rocket as well we'll get to this later on the story how resilient and how strong amazon was as a rocket next um we ramped up a bit I believe we went to 150 feet and that allowed us to test partial deployment on this flight we didn't the first one I know we didn't and that was due to it was a little bit impact a little bit too loose and I got caught on the tube then the next one was up we landed to arms and for the first time through your video here [Music] come on yes actually oh yes that was an amazing feeling that me and as I said before there's so many ways there's so many ways for things to go wrong and only one thing one way to do it right and that actually happened it was an amazing feeling and I just came and I felt it over and over my next um object will just go up and up in altitude the next flight I believe was 400 feet of 300 I think and that and also I had a parachute deployment I'm just trying it my bike it was quite a long time ago actually either I also had a parachute deployment and I was successful although it twisted a bit then it was a big one as they took other engines and go to the maximum height Amazon could fast flight to 700 feet Amazon the first flight I done okay at the parachute deployed but it was twisted so either slightly higher the same rate than it I would desire but it was something to walk on we're safe to go for two flights that day sadly that'll be the last flight of arms in that next flight um so when an engine integration work attended to put tape on the nose cone so they didn't slip off during that and I would have to repack the nose cone now the parachute sorry and I forgot to remove that tape silly mistake I've now fixed yesterday with cake glass and but with blue with it we had the pop but no parachute deployment flying down I would say above 60 miles per hour and to the ground thankfully no one was neither and obviously no one was hot and they should have that um but I actually found it quite funny it was quite a fitting in terms of I was always meant to be a test and always went full I went further than I should have next stop was Phantom blue I found on Blues Ian was just taking to replace Amazon um I only had two engines left at this point uh that eight which is one of the least perfect engines you can get and add a C6 which is the most powerful engine the fan and blue can handle so I went to launch pads well I don't want that to get too long she's like Phantom Blue by the way um so I tried it eight I went to 100 feet and we just this was just a test there the nose cone deployment sequence and to make sure the parachute deployed correctly which it did came done safely there was a bit of shredding with the recovery wadding but this can happen and there's no big issue if it happens then I started against a certain Thursday we went for the big one maximum height 1 300 feet I have self zero ideas should have done what I done with Amazon and went periodically up for example 100 feet 500 feet 700 feet thousand feet one thousand three hundred but it doesn't Phantom went up I have the pop and Phantom was never seen again I'll look for it for a few days couldn't find it and my best guess is it went up to hate um I've had some sort of malfunction with the recovery while I think in the pasture has bumped and will feel as failed to our eventful death that's that give me the thought of adding trackers to my Rockets but I haven't really got running this yet and it's quite a bit expendable so I'm sad I went so early I was on two flights but I allowed us to move on as well to create our own bigger things but last no last but not least on a Hasidic tour of my Rockets as Flash was my most recent rocket I I feel like this is going a bit sore flash only had one flight no was it two possible to yeah about to actually flash a two fights both on the same engine flight one uh parachute did deploy um and it came down that was pretty successful the inflate to at and went up partnership just completely feel to deploy those couldn't even come off everyone actually drifted too much recovery welding and it fell to the ground um three fins broke off and there's a slight shot in the tube um I wasn't that I wasn't fancy of the idea of flying again so I was retired um but but flash was basically a free rocket anyway I got a new launch system due to a slight malfunction with my other one and that came free with it because it was cheaper getting the rocket with the launch system instead of the launch system itself which is weird um but and then we I started moving on to our next big project let's go mongos Parish let's talk a bit about the flight profile from Mongoose today it will launch of an Estes and see no it's a b sex order a b64 and it will go up to about 400 300 feet and then I'll I run four seconds after engine Bond like we should have actually should hit a shot pop and parachute deployment I will then um departure will then rapidly slow down on gifts and it will slowly glide back down the ground for a soft touchdown oh I'm currently at the launch pad that sludge will just set up um before we did have a slight problem with Launchpad usage and there was a marketing training here um but we're all clear when's a low air shot glass fantastic day let's go for it we'll set up get the ignition [Music] Etc and then we'll launch hopefully it all goes well [Music] and Mongoose as still here what a launch went up to 400 feet fantastic up far very fast got some great photos past your appointment as planned the saw orange a lot of a lot of twisting back and forth there was um but it was a fantastic passion deployment the parachute may have um not at the point fully and kit not like fully I'm having Tangled slightly but I was still completely successful and Mongoose can fly again wow I'm so I'm still really reliving myself from that amazing and with that that is today's video thank you for watching guys we'll be back soon adaster
