Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab flight to 10,500ft

The Rutgers Rocket Propulsion Lab successfully launched and recovered their high-power rocket last December named Excalibur II on top of an Aerotech L1500 motor to 10,500ft achieving speeds past Mach 1. This launch served as a full scale sustainer test flight for their upcoming Spaceport 2024 competition, in which Rutgers Rocket Propulsion lab plans to fly a two-stage rocket to heights past 30,000 ft in the deserts of New Mexico.
