Today at 14:22, Stratos II was brought one step closer to its goal of 50km when the latest test rocket, the Stratos concept launcher, left the launcher tower at ASK ‘t Harde and flew to an altitude of 1 km. The separation of the nosecone occurred near apogee and roughly four seconds later, the parachute was deployed. This test proved that the designed recovery mechanism works as it should. This represents a major step forward for the Stratos team.

Congrulations all on a very nice launch. This movie is awesome! Special mention goes to the very cool flame. Too bad you need to graduate at some point so that I can now only stand by and watch…
Amazing videos!!! It was an awesome idea to get a high-speed camera for DARE 🙂
And you risked the launch on Black Friday??? Obviously superstition does not come into it. This is pure science!
Excellent work guys and girls! Finished the small step, now go for the giant leap 🙂
I love the sound on the in-flight footage, though the landing sounds a bit rough 😀
It was a great day, and we are glad we could help you with launching rockets into space.See you next time.
Congratulations!!! Indeed, amazing video 🙂
