LAMP launched!
Saturday, March 5, 2022
We launched into a perfect pulsating aurora event, the rocket worked exactly as expected, and we are beyond happy with a successful launch!
First two nights of the launch window

While there wasn't a chance to launch the past two nights, we did have some great practice at the countdown and watching the skies for the perfect aurora event.

Our ground-based team has set up an instrument called a riometer, which will measure the density of electrons in the sky overhead above the Poker Flat Research Range.
