Eye in the Sky


(Click on the photos on this page for a larger image and additional comments.)







Snapshot was a practice rocket that only made three flights. The first flight shown here was at Plaster Blaster but the movie camera failed to work.

The next two flights were in New Mexico and was used to test my anti-roll design. It clearly corrected the roll and allowed me to proceed with the next version, Focal Point 2







Sensors mounted around the nose cone and the canards that stopped the roll.







The servo and linkages were mounted inside the nose cone along with the control circuit and battery.
