N9

N9 Name: N9
Type: Midget B
Motor: K600
Launch: NLD2, ASK 't Harde, 27 May 1994

The N9 was our first rocket with a two-stage parachute system and its main purpose was to test it. After reaching the top of the flight a (small) drogue chute was deployed, and only at a few hundred metres high the (big) main chute was deployed. This way the rocket lands closer to the launching site. The flight was a success.
