Rocket Sled Test in Slow Motion 

I swear, when I saw the real speed it looked like a roadrunner cartoon. Awesome 😎 Back in my day at Eglin AFB they had an indoor test range and would model different missiles etc.. and shoot them out of a 20mm cannon secured to the ground. There were 100 Hasselblad cameras, 50 in the wall and 50 in the floor that took pictures in flight.

Cripes that was quick, been watching Sandia's clips for a long time and often wonder at the upper speed limit for everything involved, for a retired engineer like myself it's mind boggling.

The internet often gives too much of...Everything, yet there shall always be a shortfall of rocket sled videos!

I guess these are the sleds santa uses on christmas

Will we be seeing the full video results of this test in a video soon? That was insane just how fast it ended up being and the speed at which it passed the camera was absolutely mind blowing! I would absolutely love to see a video made about this test, like what you've done with previous videos of rockets on the sled. In fact, I'd almost be willing to pay to see this happen! 😃 Also, great job at doing what you all do, keeping everyone safe and for continuing to push the boundaries to discover and learn new things. It's really more appreciated than you all realize. 🙂

Great work from my colleagues in hypersonic research!

Very cool r/t monitoring system! Bravo!

"It's amazing how much work goes into 3 to 6 seconds of test" That's why there's not a lot of 3 to 6 seconds of time that's this epic...

2181 mph it went past the cam. 😳

Wow, Road Runner... meep-meep. Seriously though, that was rapid!

You guys are amazing.

While walking to work at the KUMSC on Kirtland AFB, a rocket sled test fired off. We were about two miles away but the rocket sounded like an explosion. Then we saw the plume from the rocket and it all made sense.

Funny how they put this child friendly heart wrenching music with these clips of nuclear rocket testing 😄

Captain, sensors indicate memories of the MythBusters at this location

Just in case anyone ever wondered what a speeding bullet looks like 👍

great footage thank you

In aviation the saying is, "Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing." So her saying the definition of a successful test is the same. Safety first.

3:01 Wow.

Amtrak making a comeback.

imagine standing inside the tunnel

The Test Director said it best.... Successful Test is when everyone goes home safely... Folks have No Idea all that can go wrong...

what's with the romantic music in the background ? FFS !

The REALLY fast and furious

all these really smart people wearing face diapers

Some raw footage videos at full speed with no editing or music would be great.

От реальной скорости конечно я маленько охерел. Фантастика

Wile E. Coyote and ACME'S finest 😂

Why do I feel they should have painted a very worried Wile E. Coyote holding onto the missile's nose......

The sound at 3:02 sounds like round whistling overhead.

What would happen if I put a penny on the track?

That sound at 3:02 😮😮😮 Wild E. Coyote speed

Play the real time footage in slow motion and you still don't see it zooming by

Humans make something verrry fast to watch it verrry slow afterwards 😅

If a light-speed object with mass really able to travel on earth, it will able to create side effect on its surroundings

I just keep forgetting how fast hypersonic is. God dam.

3100 feet per second? . Why isn't there any people taking that ride?

The United States does have high speed rail.

A person strapped to it would briefly experience 99 Gs before dying.

How hot does the rail temporarily get?

3,200 feet per second = 2,181 MPH

Who's, and what kind of, bearings are used for sled travel?

What would happen if you built that on a hill pointing up? Would you get escape velocity? That was one of Robert Heinlein's ideas in the moon is a harsh mistress, when they flung rocks at the earth from the moons surface using sled catapults.

wasnt the air force doing this back in the 50s? i think they said it goes about 15,000 miles per hour? anyway... when do we put a seat on it?

Road runner is just a little bit faster than this guy 😁

ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة ، وفي الآخرة حسنة ، وقنا عذاب النار . متفق عليه اللهم إني أسألك الهدى و التقى و العفاف و الغنى . رواه مسلم . اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَمْلِكُهَا إِلا أَنْتَ . الطبراني بإسناد صحيح

👋 👍 🙃 🥰 !

Wow 😳

Only 3,200 ft/s?! That's pretty slow for a rocket sled!

2:00

6 to 8 months of how many people working on that project? I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of US taxpayer dollars were spent in those 3 seconds…

It ain't rocket science.....oh wait🤔....🤭

dont know why u couldnt add a few pigs and cow at the end for more data or test concrete steel seems wasted energy when u could get tow tests at same time

Doing rocket science yet wearing mouth masks?

when did your jargon get SO OUT OF HAND that you fools say execute when you actually mean 'DO'?

Thanks you just debunked 17000mph space shuttle speed. 0:19

What a waste

Great job
