spent a rather rainy day on an grassy airstrip at the border between austria and germany to cover esero_austria competition. tuspaceteam's bespoke rocket mysteriously named "A" yeeted about a dozen can-sized payloads a couple hundred meters up in the air and touched back down safely. it's eerie how similar the technical challenges in aviation and spaceflight are at all levels. it's always battery voltages, losses of signals, freak shortcuts. in the end liberal applications of hot glue, duct tape and zip ties always do the trick.
