PHOTO 41-- Flight A-1 : February 26, 1972
 | After a short, ballistic flight to about 40 feet (12 metres) altitude, the rocket, which was not equipped with a recovery system, landed nose-first in the frozen ground. Three more "A" series rocket flights took place. Flight A-2, which had a full load of about 50 grams of propellant, achieved a peak altitude of about 450 feet (137 metres). |
