Origin Flight 2

Second launch of Starseek Origin, this time with a slightly larger class-B motor and a focus on going twice as high with an apogee of 109m (previously 47m). Hoping for the altimeter package to be operational on this launch so we'll have flight telemetry, the altimeter failed on the previous Starseek Origin Flight 1. Still no avionics package beyond the tiny commercial altimeter as the rockets far too small to support it. Other improvements and upgrades include a slightly larger and more robust 35cm parachute and kevlar shock cord. We'll also be trialling new 35m launch cables to give us an increased standoff distance at launch.
