The day began with a briefing for the launch and preparations of our CanSat. Due to cloudy weather we were an hour and a half delayed. Luckily, the weather cleared up and they were able to launch our rocket, as planned with delayed, and the launch was successful. Before the rocket was launched, our CanSat reached on acceleration of 2G and the speaker began playing the theme song of Star Wars. The personal at the launch site was not aware that our CanSat played music, so they thought that it was someone's phone that was disrupting their communications. And when they discovered it was our CanSat, they had a good laugh about it. Our CanSat was recovered very quickly due to the music, even before we gave them our GPS coordinates. We received telemetry during the entire launch and our CanSat was recovered and the data received by telemetry matched that on the SD-card. The live-stream of data on our website worked during descent. We are now going to spend the next handful of hours processing the collected data and preparing for our final presentation.
