Drop test of a #hab payload I've been working on. Validating the parachute system and vehicle stability on descent.

Testing the cutdown and parachute deployment systems for our #hab. Getting closer every day to launch! https://t.co/GKpqsOdXbv

We just had a successful cutdown and parachute deployment test for our weather balloon project! Aiming for the first flight in a few months.

[RAHS Space Launch Team @rahscubesat]

Running IMU checkouts on the balloon payload. Some big tests coming up!

Beginning assembly of our internal structure for our high altitude balloon project. The tube is part of the parachute deployment system.

It's starting to feel kinda normal to reuse rockets. Good. That's how it is for cars & airplanes and how it should be for rockets.

@SkyFoxLabs We're launching from eastern Washington State. There is a minimal chance it'll land in another state, let alone another country.

[RAHS Space Launch Team @rahscubesat]

@SkyFoxLabs We won't be flying any ITAR components. Our platform is mainly designed to allow us to test systems designed by our students.

#Throwback to when one of our Weather Balloon Team leads was interning at @PlanetaryRsrcs this past summer. More updates on the balloon soon
