4/6/25 – Blastoff!!!  Conditions were perfect for rocket launch this morning.  No wind, firm launch surface, and high fluffy clouds.  Engineer Sig counted us down and expertly let it fly.  Everything went off without a hitch and the rocket was safely recovered after landing.

While waiting for the countdown to commence we drilled the first official ice out test hole of the 2025 season which revealed 28-1/2″ of very solid ice.  With some relatively chilly lows predicted in the next week I don’t think the ice is going anywhere fast.  -Jessica
