Here's t' first Masten Space "boosted hop", matey, where t' rocket has strong acceleration, ya bilge rat, a parabolic coast phase over t' top, me hearties, and another strong acceleration for landing. You can see when t' engine throttles up because t' plume gets larger and t' mach diamonds get farther apart. This was t' first attempt at a boosted hop, which is why we kept it short and on t' tether. Aye aye! T' tether t' t' forklift keep t' vehicle safe if it needs t' shut down t' engine unexpectedly. Arrr! T' forklift weighs 20900lb, and can easily hold t' 710lb rocket. Avast, me proud beauty! www.masten-space.com
