SpaceX Grasshopper "divert test" (Aug. 2013)

Grasshopper "divert test" took place on August 13th, 2013. The 60 seconds flight can be seen on [SpaceX's YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXdjxPY2j_0). The soundtrack in this 3D animation is from that recording. ---- Animation prepared in Blender using Keyframes. 1. **Blender** - First, I have created an "Empty" object and inserted 3 initializing keyframes (X+Z location / Y rotation), setting the interpolation to "Linear". Then, I have exported the data in a Collada (.dae) file. 2. **Excel** - I have edited a trajectory based on the 60 seconds footage from SpaceX. 3. **Notepad++** - I have edited the Collada file, which is simply an ASCII text file. (Look for the tag **) 4. **Blender** - In Blender, I have imported the modified Collada file. The animation of the "Empty" object was finally assigned to the Grasshopper. ----  *Illustration adapted from [**zlsa**design](https://zlsadesign.com/)*
