Phoenix College’s May 2023 article reports more than two hours of stabilized Fall 2022 video while the vehicle rotated at approximately 75 rpm. This is a published media result, not a substitute for raw telemetry or a complete trajectory.
At the launch site and in the lab
Two Fall photographs, each with its own people caption. These identify the people pictured, separately from the symposium presenters listed above.
