4 Go Pro cameras mounted on the launch vehicle captured the the entire event in high definition at 120fps, said UP Aerospace, a company that offers low-cost space access and payload transportations.

Footage includes the ascent of the launch vehicle, booster separation at 75 miles above the ground and landing of a space capsule with parachute.



Cameras attached to the rocket showed it soaring upward fast. A nose fairing camera then captured the booster separating in space and ejecting the Maraia Earth return capsule. A camera mounted on the launch vehicle shows the capsule after the ejection, flying back towards the surface of Earth.

The footage, which looks like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster, documented a real UP Aerospace test mission for NASA that was carried out on November 6. The rocket was launched from Spaceport America in New Mexico, and carried four technology experiments for NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program that funded the launch of these technologies, the space agency said.
