COMMENTS

    Rocket performance: The rocket burned for 13 sec in the launcher before taking off
        with very low thrust and was near vertical for next 36 sec. At this time it began
        to pitch north very rapidly; below normal thrust due to very poor mixture ratio
        rich in alcohol. No explanation available for apparant obstruction in oxygen feed
        lines.
    Experiments: The experiments were a total loss
