UPCOMING TESTS | SCaxaR

On Monday, February 22, at 19: 17 EST, the Flying Mouse prototype will again break away from the SLP - 1 launch pad and climb to an altitude of 30.4 kilometers. Upon reaching the apogee, the mouse will immediately roll over on its belly and point itself towards landing zone-1. Unlike the first test of the FMP-1 during free fall, the car will maneuver by tilting itself down to 10 degrees and up to 4. At an altitude of 3,500 meters, the fins that will be bent at an altitude of 30.4 kilometers will open again and will serve both for maneuvering in the sides and for air braking. At an altitude of 750 meters, the fins will bend again and the flip maneuver will begin with 3 engines running. This time, the device will begin to push itself as much as possible into the vertical position, last time it was different. This time, during the touch, we will try to overcome the horizontal speed before the mouse touches the LZ-1. However, we estimate the probability of landing at about 40%, due to the fact that the engines are not designed to re-ignite more than 3 times. (We remind you that the same prototype flew for 30 kilometers last week, and we did not replace anything in it, except for the code) You can view a replay of the last FMP - 1 test by clicking here
