Serpentine Launch - July 24th 2022

The launch was off to a slippery start after more than expected rain the night before caused cars and trailers to slide across the path. We setup a temporary base near the gate and after two hours, we were able to reach the launch area and setup. The weather was in our favor with blue skies and minimal cloud and wind which helped dry the clay and mud.

There were many great launches throughout the day, most notably, the ANU team receiving 4 L1’s. It was a honor to host for their team and we hope to see them at one in the future!

Sithija Kaplana received his L1 certification with bonus points for a landing on top of the portaloo!!

Leondias received his L2 certification after successfully recovering his rocket from a flight in May.

A big thank you to everyone who helped pack up and clear the launch site.

Thank you Carrie Swenser Photography and Vincent Ytarri for the great photography of the day!
