PA-1 Test Flight 155.jpg

Here the CM has definitely touched down. This photo is about 137 seconds after launch. The flight lasted a good bit longer than expected.

The LAS (not pictured) dove pretty much straight down after jettison and punched lawn dart style into the ground. It had no chutes.

T+137 seconds

Nikon D300
1/250s f/11.0 at 34.0mm iso200 full exif

Approximately 36s longer than expected. We were under full open mains for over 60sec.
