Half Cat Static Launch 2 - August 21, 2021

 

The second launch of Half Cat took place on the morning of August 21st, 2021. This was the first of two flights that day. We were far more prepared this time and had assembled, fueled, and packed the rocket the night before. The launch proceeded smoothly, with the only anomaly occurring when the quick disconnect failed to disconnect. Since the whole fill line and servo/valve were still connected and swinging off of the rocket, the vehicle spun and coned its way up, significantly reducing altitude. Nonetheless, this was a total success for Half Cat.

Altitude: 3400 ft.
