Photos from the October NEFAR Launch

I’ve uploaded photos I took at the October, 2012, NEFAR launch to the RocketReviews.com Photo Album.

I’m still recovering from a broken toe, so I didn’t bring anything to fly.  But, I enjoyed watching others launch their rockets.

Near the start of the launch, I changed a setting on my camera and forgot to change it back. So, many of the photos are grainy.

But, I did manage to capture some interesting shots including the above which shows a two-stage high-power rocket suffering a failure of the booster motor.

The second stage, unfortunately, ignited. It flew horizontally over us before plowing into the ground.
