Dusting the rocket garden in my third bedroom/home office/maker space I am reminded that the white one on the left there is yet to fly.
I actually made this semi-scale flying model of the Gilmour Space Eris rocket way back in December 2022 but I killed the camera during assembly, then it took ages to source a replacement (they were discontinued), and by the time I got the replacement all momentum had been lost and I never got around to installing it and flying the rocket.
I really should make time to actually launch it. I will, of course, regard any flight of at least 14 seconds duration a huge success.

Scott Manley's take on Eris TestFlight1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98haEggTw4A
He adds some interesting details about the design of the rocket, e.g. the use of fixed main engine nozzles with reaction control thrusters.

Gilmour Space have now released some video of Eris TestFlight1 to the media and it's getting posted in various places, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rtKV9t_Cqs
The video shows the flight from two different cameras. In the second clip you can clearly see that there is a failure of one of the four first stage engines almost immediately after lift off, leaving the rocket with a thrust to weight ratio very close to one. Eris ends up basically hovering near the launch pad, but then a second engine fails and it drops to the ground.
The guidance system did a good job keeping the rocket upright during all this.

Gilmour Space have posted a couple of good photos of the brief flight of Eris TestFlight 1 on their Facebook page, along with a very positive take on events.
In the second photo, a closeup of the flamey end of the rocket very soon after liftoff, it looks like the hybrid rocket motor furthest from the camera was already failing.
Something else I noticed in the livestream video, when the rocket crashed it did not result in a powerful explosion and huge fireball. Instead there were clouds of white vapour, followed later by darker smoke from a smallish fire. This is because the first two stages of the Eris rocket use hybrid rocket motors, which because of the combination of solid fuel and liquid oxidiser don't explode in the way a liquid fuelled rocket would. The white clouds would have been the oxidiser (hydrogen peroxide?) escaping, and the subsequent fire would have been the result of the liquid fuelled 3rd stage breaking up, plus the solid fuel from the 1st and 2nd stage burning slowly in the open air.
