Level-three certification rocket uses a McLass motor giving 5,400 Newton seconds of impulse, designed with two different simulation and modeling programs, built as a scratch “goblin tinkerer” with internal structure, avionics and GPS. A test flight reaches ~5,000 feet and ~60% of Mach, then the certification flight hits 8,642 feet and unexpectedly broke the sound barrier with a cardboard airframe; recovery works and onboard camera and drone footage document the results.
