Flight of Mike Borman's Giant Leap Rocketry Elipse on November 8, 2009 with an Aerotech I211W motor. The rocket used a Missile Works altimeter to deploy a drogue chute at apogee and the main chute at 500 feet. A payload section was added to the rocket that carried a Garmin Astro GPS for tracking. A Booster Vision Gearcam rode on the outside of the rocket to capture onboard video. Pictures by Mike Borman and Pim Borman.
