Vehicle: SL-1
September
25, 2006 was our first attempt to send Antimatter and Space2O
ingredients to space. Unfortunately the rocket, an UP Aerospace
SpaceLoft XL vehicle (space mission name SL-1) experienced an anomaly
shortly after launch and failed to make it to space.
While
we were all disappointed, we were not surprised. Getting to space
is still a difficult task and we knew this was a possibility. So
we headed out to the desert to help UP Aerospace recover what was
left of their vehicle and began planning for the next launch.
The
images and video below will provide you with insight into the other
side of the business. Sometimes things go wrong and you just have
to pick yourself up, fix the problem and move on.
