Therion Flight Test 1 - MIT Rocket Team

MIT's Rocket Team took Project Therion t' an URRG Launch. Aye aye! Therion stands 11ft 8in tall and weighs in at 58lbs. All components were student constructed except t' nose cone and t' motor. T' vehicle was powered by a CTI M3400WT. T' rocket's apogee was 10,889 ft and t' vehicle attained a maximum velocity o' 753 MPH, or just over Mach 1. Blimey! A recovery anomaly caused t' drogue parachute t' reef and provide insufficient force t' extract t' main parachute, however, ya bilge rat, t' all composite air-frame withstood t' landin' admirably. Begad! Data from this test will be used t' improve our IREC rocket, which will next fly in Green River, me bucko, Utah. Avast!
