The German Space Center launches unmanned scientific research missiles onto the pillar, capturing the rare HD image of a space trip.

The missile, Mapheus5 , was launched in Switzerland in late June to test the reaction of different materials in extreme conditions. In the video released on July 25, German scientists said the rocket has a speed of 6.5 times the speed of sound, reaching space only seconds after launch.
When launched, the missile turned, but quickly stabilized when it was about 100 km from Earth. Within 6 minutes, the missile was in an inefficient condition , a time that allowed scientists to conduct experiments. The missile's return trip and return took 7 minutes.
" The difference between rotation and stability is important. That's why scientific rockets are often equipped with cameras. If the rocket keeps rotating, it will create an unwanted gravity in the object. fly , "said Ulrich Walter, former astronaut - space technology professor.
According to the Washington Post, although the event is not outstanding, the interesting thing is the video itself. This is one of the rare footage among the adventures into space recorded by HD quality (high definition).
Around the world, many countries use rockets as a means of studying the universe. This is a much lower cost method, compared to placing research on the International Space Station (ISS).
"Using rockets is a relatively easy way to test different objects in extreme conditions, " Walter said. Washington Post posted the video on facebook, attracting a lot of viewers and comments.
"I feel like my mind is spinning like a washing machine," commented Jim Denver. Another person named Walker said, "Remember to remind me never to go out into space again."
