RocketCam

Ten years ago, the RocketCam video system accompanied a Delta II rocket as it launched NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft from Florida. The product family is now a globally recognized brand, with a premier customer base in commercial, civil and defense markets.

Since 1997, RocketCam systems from Ecliptic Enterprises have been employed successfully on 53 of 53 launches -- 51 onboard rockets as the host platform and 2 onboard spacecraft. During the past decade, RocketCam has evolved from a nice-to-have to must-have capability for many aerospace applications.

Notable projects supported by RocketCam include numerous NASA launches of spacecraft destined for low Earth orbit and Mars, the X Prize-winning SpaceShipOne effort during 2004, Space Shuttle launches, and multiple launches of the new Atlas 5 and Delta IV rockets.

RocketCam systems have also successfully supported over a dozen other demanding aerospace projects, such as rocket motor test firings, aircraft and balloon projects, vacuum chamber tests, motor vehicle applications, and marine projects.

Future RocketCam applications include remaining planned Shuttle launche; launches onboard commercial and government spacecraft heading to various Earth orbits, the Moon and possibly Mars; various efforts in the emerging space tourism and entrepreneurial space arena; and missile defense efforts.
