Grasshopper Rise to New Height

Yet again, SpaceX's Grasshopper rocket has amazed one and all. Lately, it has been found that the Grasshopper has risen to the height of 2,440 feet.

The video of the same was made by a hexacopter. The hexacopter has been able to provide clear picture of the launch of the rocket and as well as of the time when it reached to its maximum height.

It has been said that the sight was quite pleasing to see. One of the other attractive features of the Grasshopper is that it can fly in midair for over 30 seconds before its returns on the Earth.

It was on October 7 when the Grasshopper has taken the highest leap. As per experts, it is the highest leap taken by Grasshopper, till date. Experts unveiled one of the major differences between normal rockets and Grasshopper.

They have affirmed that majority of the rockets burn up in the atmosphere after getting launched. But such is not the case with Grasshopper as it is programmed to return to its launch pad. It makes vertical landing and it has been done so that it can be used again as well.

Such experiments make SpaceX to keep reusing their rockets to attain yet other new heights.
