Some people, including myself, use a lot of electronics in our rockets to reliably deploy multiple parachutes, take photos, etc. This scratch built 10 pound rocket uses an Olympus Stylus 35mm camera to take 36 airborn photos on each launch. A few photos of the Bong Recreational launch field in Wisconsin follow here. My thanks to the Wisconsin Tripoli for excellent facilities and well run launches. What a great team.

What a ham. Booster is hanging on 25' of kevlar over the launch area, coming down on a 3' drogue chute at 35fps. It's pretty wet out there on this day. Mile high view of the launch area looking straight down. This is a blow up of the picture above showing people at the pad director's desk in lower corner, as well as the launch officer's desk in upper corner.
