C-1 Block 2: Flight 1 - Year 1, Day 277

6/20/2018

 
Launch Facility: Woomerang
Mission Objectives:
  1. Test uncrewed launch & re-entry test of first crewed vehicle
Crew:
  • None
A C-1 booster has been fitted with a Mk-1 capsule in an uncrewed ballistic test flight, in preparation for the first crewed flight.
Picture
All went well until the capsule failed to orient properly and the parachute subsequently failed to deploy. This is why test launches are performed before crewed missions.

C-1 Block 2: Flight 2 - Year 1, Day 300

The installation of a heat shield causes the capsule to orient itself correctly during re-entry. This rocket is now rated for crewed flight!
