Motormounts - Multistage Dutch Version Back

Composition - Clusters - Multistage

On the launch of 20 October 2012, Roland Lemmers asked if photographs could be taken
of a test with a 2-stage model. The booster (bottom/1st stage) was taped to the launch platform,
so the whole of ignition of 1st and 2nd stage could take part in front of our nose. Aim a high-speed camera on it and we´re ready.

Below the result. Between consecutive frames we have 0,067sec.
