USCRPL Static Fire Test

Video Caption: Third times the charm! Aft burn throughs at the forward and aft end of the case, USCRPL designed and built a successful solution to their motor insulation problem!

A great success after two earlier attempts, good to see the team found and remedied the problem!

This weekend RPL static fired a second Fathom II composite case. Unfortunately about 6 seconds in, there was a burn through in the aft end. pic.twitter.com/wKHVlP9f8n
