Trong Bui, principal investigator for the aerospike rocket experiment at NASA Dryden, and Scott Bartel of Blacksky Corp. connect a laptop computer to the internal rocket data acquisition system on the aerospike research rocket tested in Texas. The goals of the flight research project were to obtain aerospike rocket nozzle performance data in flight and to investigate the effects of transonic flow and transient flight conditions on aerospike nozzle performance.
