Hey Patrons,

I'm hesitant to even say we're trying again at this launch, but we are! We almost went for the launch yesterday but had to call it off after the weather got worse. I'll keep it short and just say this week has been a nightmare of trying to find blue skies and low winds, and I'm hoping today is the day!

There is a chance the stream won't happen, but I've got a huge pole to elevate the wireless modem which should help get us a good quality signal in the field. Should everything work out, I am planning on making the stream public shortly before launch as well. Here's hoping this is the last time I try to launch Sprint V1!

LIVE Sprint - Test Flight 10 - 1km

Let's try this again... Launching from "Site C" roughly 1 hour north of Nashville, TN, Sprint will attempt to reach an apogee of 1km on an Aerotech H13 rocket motor and descend safely back to the ground under parachutes.
