Roto Rocket flew beautifully!
We did our initial launch of the Roto Rocket from the NASA facility in Greenbelt MD. It flew beautifully, and came down with the bottom half deploying the parachute and the top half under Roto recovery. Both parts performed wonderfully. Unfortunately the parachute half will be remaining at the very top of a 100 ft tree on the NASA grounds as a monument to just how well this rocket performed. Note to self: Fewer trees next time.
