  • Ninth flight of the ROViR (Rocket Onboard VIdeo Recorder) model rocket payload system, May 10, 2014 at Dodds Park in Champaign, Illinois. Components included the 2.1" diameter Sunspot 57 booster rocket, the ROViR-1 payload container with a Replay XD 1080 camcorder, and an Aerotech G125-8 motor. On this flight, two 18" X-form parachutes were used on the payload section to see if this improves the stability of the video during descent. The video has been slowed to half of actual speed for more comfortable viewing. Video by Greg Smith
