Rocket Sled Test in Slow Motion

- Sandia’s 10,000-ft sled track provides a controlled environment to recreate both normal and abnormal scenarios for both small and large test items. Watch in slow motion as a rocket travels down the track at speeds up to 3,200 ft/sec.

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.

Was it in vacuum? Maybe some kind of hyper ballistic aerodynamics test tunnel ?
It's a capture tunnel. Missile goes in and the tunnel stops it, likely in a crushed rock barrier. The alternative is to let the missile fly free, but that is a lot more dangerous.
Slow mo: the sound of a descending whistle, silence and then *pooffffff*
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!
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. 🙂
This was not classified, many other tests are so they give what they can.
I guess these are the sleds santa uses on christmas
Great work from my colleagues in hypersonic research!
русские уже нарабатывают новые технологии...
Гиперзвук, это вчерашний день... 😊
"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...
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.
2181 mph it went past the cam. 😳
Very cool r/t monitoring system! Bravo!
Wow, Road Runner... meep-meep. Seriously though, that was rapid!
You guys are amazing.
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 👍
imagine standing inside the tunnel
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.
what's with the romantic music in the background ? FFS !
Amtrak making a comeback.
3:01 Wow.
all these really smart people wearing face diapers
great footage thank you
Some raw footage videos at full speed with no editing or music would be great.
The Test Director said it best.... Successful Test is when everyone goes home safely... Folks have No Idea all that can go wrong...
Wile E. Coyote and ACME'S finest 😂
What would happen if I put a penny on the track?
От реальной скорости конечно я маленько охерел. Фантастика
The REALLY fast and furious
The sound at 3:02 sounds like round whistling overhead.
3100 feet per second? . Why isn't there any people taking that ride?
It's still open to the first person to volunteer.
How hot does the rail temporarily get?
It gets hot not at all.
Why do I feel they should have painted a very worried Wile E. Coyote holding onto the missile's nose......
Play the real time footage in slow motion and you still don't see it zooming by
A person strapped to it would briefly experience 99 Gs before dying.
I think death would actually occur before reaching 99g acceleration !!
Who's, and what kind of, bearings are used for sled travel?
Round ones.
I think it is just metal plates sliding on metal rail. Probably why they call it a "sled"
That sound at 3:02 😮😮😮 Wild E. Coyote speed
I just keep forgetting how fast hypersonic is. God dam.
If a light-speed object with mass really able to travel on earth, it will able to create side effect on its surroundings
The United States does have high speed rail.
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.
Not quite. Escape velocity is above 10 km/sec. That’s about Mach 33 at ground level. The whole test specimen would have melted before reaching the terminal area, I guess. And the sled tracks would be good for the scrapyard.
3,200 feet per second = 2,181 MPH
That’s about Mach 3 : supersonic, NOT hypersonic (above Mach 5) speed.
~980m/s in science units.
Humans make something verrry fast to watch it verrry slow afterwards 😅
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?
في الأحلام 15,000ميل
Wow 😳
👋 👍 🙃 🥰 !
Only 3,200 ft/s?! That's pretty slow for a rocket sled!
That’s about Mach 3 : supersonic, NOT hypersonic (above Mach 5) speed.
@@joso5554 Some rocket sleds can go 6,599 mph
Road runner is just a little bit faster than this guy 😁

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
when did your jargon get SO OUT OF HAND that you fools say execute when you actually mean 'DO'?
Doing rocket science yet wearing mouth masks?
Thanks you just debunked 17000mph space shuttle speed. 0:19
What a waste
What’s a waste?
Great job
