Another mesmerizing capture from @Dustin_Farrell. @ztresearch
I captured this strange phenomenon recently in SE Colorado at 1000FPS. Check out how the bolt actually follows the turbine blade at the end. If the blade was spinning faster would it draw a lightning circle?? Would love another @LaurelCoons analysis! @WorldAndScience

There's a limit to how "dynamic" you can get with a tethered test, but we're pushing the envelope as much as we can with the latest test of Gyroc, our VTVL rocket. Thanks to @esa and @spacegovuk. Video here: youtube.com/watch?v=WAMXIBng…

We're pleased to announce that our VTVL rocket "Gyroc" has received funding from @esa (via @spacegovuk) for a development and test programme which will allow us to refine the control system and design a larger-scale vehicle. Here's a test from last week: youtube.com/watch?v=Kzl64BYY…
