Objectives

• Test flights of all our team rockets.
• Refine our recovery methods and chute sizes.
• Get ready for qualification flights.

Lessons

• Our biggest issue is descent times - we need to slow down - either more chutes or bigger chutes.
• The motor selections are finalized.
• Team 1639 added a second chute which seemed to slow descent.
• Team 1640 had a launch that went off at a great angle, reducing the altitude. It may have been miss alignment of booster and cargo on the rail. Their descent is still too fast. A fin needs to be repaired.
• Team 1641 landed on the road and needs to rebuild their cargo unit.
• We had three blown igniters, but never with First Fire.
• We had no issues with eggs breaking or recovery of rockets.
