Colibri flight #19 - 2m up and land, smoother landing! 🛬

Here's flight 19 in which our hopper once again attempted a landing after a 2m ascent.
This time we got a bit smoother landing!

So cute compare to other rockets, but still a rocket - that's Awesome!

I love the look of that little rocket. I hope to see an untethered hop soon.

Anyone else have a hard time figuring out the scale of this rocket? I need a banana or human to stand next to it.

[@gruyerespaceprogram]

It's 2.45m tall! By the way, you can check out our instagram, twitter or linkedIn where there are some picture of it with team members next to it!

It was a 2m test…..

@@kjbaran Americans love to use wacky measurements for stuff. I actually find it quite fun myself too. For example, which body part of mine is only 2 and a half peanuts long?

[@janofb]

For our American friends, it's 8 feet tall.

[@RootedHat]

cool!

[@zachmoyer1849]

what is its purpose?

[@gruyerespaceprogram]

To test self-landing technologies!
