Rather than them not building the rocket sturdy enough, which would be
surprising, it could have been as simple as the motor under performing. The
first stage was passively guided, so if the thrust was lower than expected,
the gravity turn could have been too steep (as Anthony mentioned). A
higher max Q could definitely rip panels off.

Maybe they should have considered the vehicle structure more than a little
HCl in the environment. The vehicle started breaking up about 33 seconds
into the flight. At least 6 potential objects from the vehicle are
visible from the on board camera, one being very close to the camera. Most
appear in only one frame. It would explain the roll-pitch coupling as skin
and other components were stripped from the vehicle and it became
unbalanced.



Greg Zsidisin you got some good eyes to spot even one of those objects in
real time.

A question on the propellant. I only found one article that included
any details and it mentioned an "ammonium nitrate blend". Is that
correct? I'm a solid fuel guy, amatuer but hard at it. I've found by
both research and experience that AN composite propellant is quite
inferior to it's ammonium perchlorate cousin. Was the article wrong?
Did someone figure out a way to soup up ANCP? Or is it a "green
thing?" as ANCP doesn't make HCl ?

Thanks,

Brian
