This document details the flight profile of a launch vehicle, analyzing critical events from liftoff through stages of altitude and velocity. Key milestones include drogue chute deployment between T+30 and T+37 seconds at an altitude of 8400 feet AGL, 2nd stage engine burnout at T+16 seconds, and main parachute deployment at T+60 seconds. Additional observations include payload deployment, velocities at various stages, and altitude readings. Comprehensive insights are enriched with images by Ray LaPanse, capturing significant moments in the flight trajectory.
