01. Range Operations & Mentorship

Special thanks to Guy Wadsworth from CMASS, who served as our mentor and range lead. Guy proportioned a fantastic rocketry afternoon, overseeing the launch of our primary vehicle and demonstrating high-power principles with his own flight.

02. Flight Dynamics

The vehicle maintained a stable 90-degree ascent. Visual tracking confirms that the G10 fiberglass fin stabilization successfully countered crosswinds, keeping the rocket on its predicted trajectory toward the 790ft apogee.

03. Recovery Anomaly

The mission encountered a critical failure at the deployment transition. A Deployment Deficit occurred—the ejection charge failed to separate the airframe sections, resulting in a high-velocity ballistic descent into a wooded recovery zone.

04. Guest Flight: LOC Nano-Magg

Guy also launched a LOC Precision Nano-Magg. This short, high-drag "stubby" is a crowd favorite because it handles massive thrust while remaining remarkably stable. It's the ultimate 'muscle car' of the low-to-mid power world, punching through the air with a profile that’s as iconic as it is aerodynamic.
