Kip Daugirdas flies Mesos at FAR, the sequel.

November 4, 2023
Finally getting through the video backlog of 2023. Things are extremely busy behind the scenes at FAR, with new construction and the second annual Academic Industry Liquid Rocket Symposium happening on January 27.
This day, Kip Daugirdas returned with Mesos for a revenge flight, following a previous attempt in May. With Kip's high performance rockets, and higher waivers and impulse limits, the doors have opened for other high fliers to fly out at FAR. With plumbing and electricity, FAR and the MTA are luxury rocket test destinations.

Everything came back fine. It didn't reach space though, but it's getting closer. He's at the top of the FAR leaderboard for recovered rockets
