500m Sprint Launch, live tomorrow evening! (Patreon)

THE TIME HATH COMETH, THE HOUR NEARS...**

**the hour is roughly 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT at the link provided

We're aiming for 500m with Sprint on an AeroTech G11 motor. Live path planning functions will execute a divert maneuver at T+3 seconds, sending the vehicle on a safer recovery trajectory toward the middle of the field. From the camera view, the vehicle will lean back, and pitch slightly to the left.

Realistically, I expect about 400m out of this flight rather than 500. We have the power to get to 500, but I want onboard video, which eats the mass budget with the camera. At the risk of jinxing it, I have decent confidence in this flight. It's a pretty easy scale up from 100m. If this works, 1km is shortly after. That will be much more challenging, and I am genuinely not sure if the rocket will survive the flight...

Either way, it should be a fun stream tomorrow, and I hope to see ya there!
