Смешная статья: "Extreme environmental testing of a rugged correlated photon source" by James A. Grieve, Robert Bedington, Alexander Ling.

Там всего две странички, но если кому лень идти по ссылке, вот краткие выдержки:

"In October 2014, the opportunity unexpectedly arose to test our device in the most extreme environment possible: the rapid and unexpected disassembly of a launch vehicle atop a large fireball of kerosene and liquid oxygen. The unit was integrated into a nanosatellite [...] Approximately 15 seconds after ignition, the first stage suffered a loss of propulsion, resulting in the activation of the flight termination system and the immediate and spectacular recombination of the propellant and liquid oxygen. [...] Although we were able to expose the system to the more demanding environment of a massive kerosene fireball, we were unable to retrieve any data on its performance. For this extremely demanding test to become a routine component of the satellite development toolkit, the data retrieval problem must be overcome. It is hoped that future launches will not provide opportunities to investigate this further."

funny, science
