Launch Madness: 5 Launches Within 5 Minutes - B-Roll & Animations
  • 12 years ago
In March 2012, NASA Wallops Flight Center is teaming up with Clemson University for the Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX). The experiment consists of launching 5 rockets in about 5 minutes to study the high-altitude jet stream. The rockets will release a tracer that forms a milky, white trail-shaped cloud that will allow scientists to "see" winds in space. The tracers may be visible from South Carolina to the northeastern States for 20 minutes after launch. The ATREX launch window is March 14 to April 3.

This video containers B-Roll of the construction of the rockets, as well as a CGI animation of the launch. Finally file footage of previous launch is included.
