Editor’s note: These video clips and pictures show activity surrounding the VAriable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR). The first video shows some of the last shots of the VX-100 showing a few of the plasma diagnostics that Ad Astra Rocket Company uses. The second video shows images of a new vacuum chamber going into the company’s new lab located at Highway 3 and Bay Area Blvd. This link shows a few pictures of John Young and George Abbey firing the last plasma shots of the VX-100.
