Hey Patrons, lots of posts lately but it's cause there's lots to do! We've got a launch coming up Saturday morning bright and early. This will be Flight 7 of Scout F, and I'm feeling pretty good about our chances of landing upright on this.

I've got a few changes from Flight 6, mostly that we're aiming for better attitude control at the end of the landing burn, which should help with how much the rocket tips. We're also just sliiiightly lowering the target burnout altitude. Mild risk of catching the dirt but the payoff of a really smooth touchdown might just be worth it :)

LIVE Scout F - Launch and Landing Attempt 7

Flight seven! Really really close in software to flight 6, with some improvements in how far we pitch over, and how much we prioritize attitude right before touchdown, which should help the bounce and tipping.
