MARS Boosted Dart  

NFPA/TRA Sparky Motor Testing

O10,000 powered boosted dart from the British MARS team. Rocket had problems with the dart not separating from the booster and the max altitude was in the 30,000' range. All parts were recovered undamaged!

 

At BALLS 2000 there were tests done to establish guidelines for spark producing motors. Long sheets of paper were put out and the locations of burn marks were noted.
