Our ACTUAL track for the flight today. A super close range recovery. High ascent speed and relatively low burst altitude of 72,600 feet. Great for an equipment test.

Here is the track prediction update for today. It's pretty rare to see the landing site within a mile of the launch site! I call it tour of Potsdam.

The forecasted wind speed for Saturday has lowered. This probably means a closer landing site.
