This was my level 1 certification flight. The Astrobee D flew perfectly straigt up to 2000ft. Deployment was exactly at apogee, with a very gentle landing about 1/4 mile down range. The flight was so perfect, that we recovered her without so much as even a smuge on her! She looks like she has never been flown!
Aerotech does not recommend that you fly this model with the antennas on, but I just couldn't do that! So I reinfoced them internally, and she flew just fine with them on, and sustained no damage on landing.
