Forte Camera Rocket Project part 4
Construction of LOC Forte rocket Construction of payload section Video of first camera launch First launch pictures
Second Launch: taken at CTRA Invitational Launch, Cobleskill, NY 9/8/01
I increased the picture taking speed to every 2 seconds; taped over the auto-focus window on the camera and used 400 speed film. Got better results this time. Launched with an H238-S, about 1200'.
