Great shot!
Sounds like they had GPS problems; that’s the hardest requirement in the 100kft micro-prize too. I wonder if they knew that when they laid out the rules for the prize.
Can anyone explain the relationship between STIG-A and the other Armadillo landers. Is one the booster and the other an upper stage? Or is this internal competition? Or is one suborbital and the other orbital or what? Thanks
