I am happy to report that all FIRST rockets launched successfully and were found nearby. The majority landed with just a few scratches, some with a Finn or two less, but I think I speak for all when I say that we were proud and satisfied just with the fact that they actually left the ground. The rockets achieved heights up to 815m, velocity up to 160m\/s and acceleration up to 9g &#8211; as the flight data showed later on.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Space Team for organizing the FIRST project.
