After several attempts in the past two weeks I was finally able to launch a finless rocket clearly over 500 meters using launch and recovery GPS coordinates (740 meters). The rocket was powered by 65% KNO3 and 35% sugar (sobitol), the same fomulation used in the Sugar Shot to Space project. The propellant was case bonded to the EMT steel motor casing, nose cone was turned from wood. I wish to thank Google Lunar X-Prize Team Selene for sponsoring this competition.
