A 2.5-second rocket flight that heralded decades of discovery in space!
Today marks 100 years since the first successful test of a liquid-fueled rocket. Robert H. Goddard's achievement would have appeared unimpressive by most measures: His rocket flew just 41 feet in the air, landing in a nearby cabbage patch. Liquid-propelled rocketry has been the backbone of spaceflight ever since.

ALT On a snowy March 16, 1926, Dr. Robert H. Goddard rests his hand on the testing frame supporting his liquid fuel rocket at Ward Farm in Auburn, Massachusetts. A wooden door is propped up at an angle next to the frame where Goddard\u2019s assistant, Henry Sachs, later sheltered after lighting the rocket.

My former team blew up a 6" O motor at IREC last month and caused a really neat pressure wave
Thanks to @NASASpaceflight for the footage

If you're doing altimeter deploy keep your vent/sample holes upstream of that camera bump or you're not going to have a good time
I had a friend lose her L2 because it messed with altimeter readings and caused an ejection at burnout that way

Colibri has completed its maiden #flight! π
This is the first time an all-student team has successfully flown a #RocketHopper!
The flight went according to plan! The vehicle ascended 1m and #hovered for 8s.
And this is just the beginning of our test flight campaign! π₯

Itβll be interesting to see how things progress. But itβs still rare for amateur rockets to crack 100,000 ft (30.5 km).
