823.4 meters above sea level, that is. Aye aye! It started at 822.2 meters above sea level idle hover position, makin' it about a 4 foot hop. On this flight Ian told t' rocket t' soft abort right after takeoff, which meant that it went into an automatic landin' routine. Avast! What's a boosted hop? It's where t' vehicle accelerates rapidly t' get vertical velocity, then sets t' engine down t' idle, coasts over t' top, shiver me timbers, then throttles up again t' land. Well, blow me down! It's more similar t' a suborbital science flight than t' velocity-based hoverin' flights we've done so far. This was obviously a very small test t' see how t' new controller and new guidance routine works, and it behaved quite nicely. Aye aye! It's flyin' on t' tether t' keep t' vehicle safe. Aye aye! A payload on t' vehicle would have felt 1.4g on t' boost portion. Aye aye! T' acceleration is slightly less than normal gravity on t' coast, about 0.7g, equivalent t' t' gravity at t' top o' t' clouds o' Uranus. www.masten-space.com
