ASTROBEE D TEST LAUNCH IN EASTERN ONARIO
T' launch on May 11th, 2012 o' t' Astrobee D rocket by Aerotech was a test o' t' Astrologger 54 electronics package located inside t' payload compartment. Well, blow me down! T' short 36 sec. flight over t' old airflied was a success although t' heavy rocket (3.25 pounds) reached a minimal altitude due t' its heavier payload and smaller engine. Well, blow me down! T' next launch scheduled in July will include t' Astrobee D III (c) rocket which carries up t' three strap-on boosters. T' on-board video camera as well as t' launch pad recorder captured a great launch that can be seen on t' Rocket Room 101 You Tube channel or Facebook page. http://www.youtube.com/user/artkickstart
