Black Brant IX onboard camera on NASA’s FOXSI mission

A Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket launched NASA’s Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, on 7 September 2018, at 17:21 UTC (13:21 EDT). FOXSI reached an altitude of about 189 miles to search for nanoflares on the Sun using its X-ray vision. The video was filmed by a camera at the bottom of the payload.
