The launch of Compass took place at the Truppen\u00fcbungsplatz (military training area) Heuberg. Compass was able to reach an altitude of more than 3200 m \/ 10,000 ft above ground and an initial acceleration of more than 6.5 g. During ascent, all systems performed nominally. Drogue and main parachutes were ejected\u2013 however, the main parachute was not able to unfold, and the rocket landed with a descent rate of about 20 m\/s. This resulted in some damage to structural components and the fluid system.\u00a0The following video shows the launch of different perspectives, including the beautiful onboard footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
