Long Over Due Brief Update

Hello. Sorry for the long period of inactivety on this blog. We got real busy with midterms, finals and of course presparation for our static test fire which we conducted this past Sunday, May 27th at the Friend's of Amatuer Rocketry test site in the Mojave Desert.

Basically the test did not go so well. We experienced a hard start and a fireball engulfed our system. We are compiling all our video and data to try to determine what the cause of the failure was which I will post, however, in the meantime here is some video Paul Breed took. Ours is the fourth test about 1:42 into the video.

Although it was impressive I was sorry to see the fireball. :( What hardware can be recovered from the test? What are the next steps to getting under way again?
