The Cambridge Rocket Club successfully completed it\u2019s twice postponed \u201cSeason Opener\u201d launch on Sunday April 28th at it\u2019s secondary launch site, LS5 located on Mohawk Road in Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skies were clear, temperatures around 10 degree Celsius and winds from the north varying between 15 and 25 kph. A total of 18 people were at the launch to brave the brisk conditions. We managed to launch a total of 36 rockets and 5 radio controlled rocket gliders. The 43 engines we burned ranged from \u201cA\u201d to \u201cG\u201d in impulse and we ended up burning 1.905 Newtons of impulse which is equivalent to 74.4% of a \u201cK\u201d motor. Our flight success rate was very high, unfortunately we managed to lose one rocket and four ended up in trees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
