Gilmour Space

With such a name, it is no surprise there are delays. They must learning to fly, to the dark side of the Moon. Put otherwise: Gilmour should be fine, as long as they don't take Waters. And now, I'll see myself out...
 
There's a guy in our SoCal neighborhood whom I see every once in a while walking around with one of those things on his shoulder.
 
@Michel Van : thank you.
It doesn't look like in the video as if there was nearly 30t of fuel in that rocket. But I guess the ground impact wasn't hard enough to breach all tanks.
 
from the footage posted by @Flyaway

one engine failed to ignite, follow shot down off engine next to it.
That reason the Rocket made a hop side ways or Powerslide 2, electric boogaloo...

I curious on failure report
 
Any AMROC guys with them?

I think there was a plan for a LOX tank to feed lower stages of mostly tire-rubber.

Now--has any hybrid design use just a tad bit of true solid rocket propellant mix to get the burn started, with inert fuel behind it warmed enough to be more supple, perhaps?

Maybe it's better not to name your rocket after the Greek Goddess of 'strife and discord' . . .

Oh, I think that is a perfect name for the NewSpace community since strife is their true Hallmark.
 
Scott Manley has uploaded a YT video about the launch attempt:


Gilmour Space is an Australian rockect company hoping to launch their Eris rocket to orbit, this is a small hybrid fueled launch vehicle making it unique in the world of orbital rockets. However it's first flight was unique in its own way ending after only 14 seconds of flight.Let's figure out what happened.
