The Astrobee D IV (D) high powered rocket was launched on a parabolic flight path over the Gananoque airfield.  Although the launch vehicle reached only a minimal altitude, all systems performed properly with the low altitude attributed to a poor thrust performance from the main engine and twin integral side boosters, less than ideal weather conditions including wind and rain, a very heavy rocket, and a undersized launch pad that could barely hold the rocket in place before lift-off.   The 12 covers on board the second stage were recovered safely and cancelled at the nearest post office in the small town of Gananoque.  Six of the covers will now be sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the United States where another rocketeer named Andrew Warwick will launch the mail covers in his rocket.  The precious mail cargo will eventually be sold on Ebay by Gemada Stamps.
