  • The Golden Eagle reached an altitude of 13,747', hitting a top speed of approximately Mach 1.17 along the way. The flight was about 1,800' higher than RockSIM predicted, and a rather terrifying 253' away from the waiver.

  • After a puff of smoke from the apogee event, I lost visual contact with Golden Eagle. About two and a half minutes later, we heard the report from the main's deployment charge, and I spotted the rocket just before it landed. The GPS coordinates of the landing site put it roughly a mile northeast of the launch pad.
