Hey Patrons, lots of footage and data from yesterday's flight here! I hope you don't mind how often I've been posting here, I'm sure it creates quite a few emails but the goal is to make sure I share as much as I can :)

We lost a TON of light with two failed ignition attempts yesterday, pretty disappointing footage for the most part. New rule: launch happens 20 min before sunset - video quality will be much better at the small sacrifice of cool pad lighting. In the worst case scenario that it takes a few attempts, we should still be okay on footage quality.

Anyway, I'm going to launch again tomorrow! The motor for this flight had an anomaly, i explain it in the data but I believe the propellant began burning on the side of the grain, not just the end. Wind is super low tomorrow, I've got plenty of motors, and I want to get a full duration burn with that pitch maneuver, so expect more updates soon!

Thank you for your support,

Joe

Sprint Test Flight 3 + Data Review

Lost a lot of light due to two failed ignition attempts, and was already behind schedule. From now on, launch target is 20 min before sunset, not sunset itself.

It's not spamming if it's launches! They're interesting!
