Described as “game changing technology,” the camera’s purpose is to help scientists analyze rocket engine tests by recording them at high speed with numerous exposures at once.
Due to the loudness and brightness of rocket motor plumes, previous high-speed cameras were only able to record one frame at a time, which resulted in some important components being obscured. Until now, that is.
It is always amazing to see how technology is pushed forward. Hopefully this new technology will lead to more efficient and powerful rocket designs.
Steem on,
