A rocket builder going by the name of Astro Brony has a new one ready for liftoff soon going by the name of Rainboom MK 2. As you can see from the image above, this thing is pretty hefty. The rocket itself is expected to go full on supersonic, with a launch date of September 12th. That's a pretty awesome way to celebrate the second half of the season isn't it?
Head on down below for a bunch of images, along with a short blurb by the creator.
Blurb:
This is the Rainboom Mk 2. Like it’s predecessor, the Rainboom Mk 1, this class 2 high power rocket is designed to fly, like Rainbow Dash, at the speed of sound. However, this time, the rocket is designed to withstand significantly more stress and won’t fail when it goes super sonic, like the Rainboom Mk 1. The rocket itself is constructed from G12 airframe quality fiberglass. The amazing Rainbow Dash decal was made by my friend Amiki, who’s deviant art you can find here: http://amiki-doodles.
I’ll be posting both the footage of it’s flight from the ground, and also footage taken by it’s on-board camera. If all goes according to plan, you should get some pretty nice pictures of what the world looks like from 10,000 feet, and maybe even an actual Sonic Rainboom.
