How do I charge the camera

If the camera were to run out of batteries, how would I charge it? Does it even run out of batteries? I really like the camera and have been using it for many different projects because of its small size and high quality.

Reliable

The Astrocam is a very reliable rocket, and is very simple to build. Avoid using the B4-4 engine with it, though. After 6 flights, it retains a consistent 850-900 feet in altitude on a C6-5. Video is unstable but who cares, it's fun!

A truly amazing rocket

I flew an Astrocam on a C6-5 engine, and it went extremely high, possibly 850-900 feet in the air! The camera on it recorded the whole thing. I doubted the whole rubber-band mounting, so we did two rubber bands on the same mount. It worked beautifully. It is suprisingly easy to assemble, for such a high-flyer. Overall, it is an amazing rocket that I would reccomend.

This product recommended for children ages 10+ with adult supervision for those under 12, and rocketeers of all ages.
