The 83 second test (which is rather noisy — watch the volume on the video) was performed at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida
Morpheus started its journey over a flame trench and ended it by landing in a specially designed area 837 feet away.
Designed to serve as a vertical testbed for advanced spacecraft technologies, Morpheus provides a platform for bringing technologies from the laboratory into an integrated flight system at relatively low cost.
The vertical take-off and landing vehicle is propelled by a mixture of methane and liquid oxygen and is designed to carry payloads of up to 1,100 pounds.
