Comments
The motor performed nominally, except for the inaccurate delay. The delay was shortened from 14s to approximately 11s. According to altimeter data, the ejection charge fired approximately 18s after motor burnout (approximately 21s after ignition). Damage to the rocket (zipper) due to high speed recovery deployment. Date code on the packaging partially not readable; the second digit could be either 1 or 7 (probably 7); the last digit could be either 0, 6 or 8 (probably 8).
