Secret Sprite Hover And Divert (Patreon)

Hey Patrons, this footage won't be out for a few days at least, but Sprite had it's first hover and divert today! This is a huge deal for the GNC that Sprite was built to test. The craft goes 3m up, then 4m over, then hovers, then 4m back, then 3m down. You can check out all the data from the live telemetry on screen. Be warned, it's a bit loud :)

I'm burning hard and going all in on flights and testing before this year's National Rocketry Conference. I've got at least one or two more flights planned for Sprite, and at least one for Sprint, which is a new rocket with TVC for pitch and yaw, and a reaction wheel for roll control. Pursing projects named Sprint and Sprite back to back may not have been the brightest idea...

Blue skies,

Joe
