I screwed up the flight card for this one, writing C11-0/C11-5 instead of D12-5 for the sustainer. This caused a lot of "CATO TO CATO" shouts and they were half right. Staged at about 200' with a violent bang. The sustainer lit and the flight continued back over our heads. Altitude was around 900'. Recovery occurred in the beans almost on the spot where the Pathfinder had landed. I was going to get my steps in today.
| Actual Altitude: | 900 Feet |
