Nova 4
Nova 4 was launched today (7/03/07) and reached an altitude of 20,005m before cut down and descent landing near Colchester, Essex.
vital stats: – 20km apogee, – cutdown triggered due to 45km distance, – both (mechanically parallel) cutdowns operated successfully, – pilot-deployed drogue chute worked but rigging problems caused tangles and chute didn’t open fully. – Some spin on descent but recovered before firm 8m/s landing.
