Walking III

OK, I got a text last Wednesday: “Found your rocket” with the picture
below. Gabe and Laikyn Meier of Redlands were out treasure hunting in the
Lakebed and came across a dry mud encrusted rocket:

Start Walking III, v3, last seen going up and out of sight at the August
10, 2019 ROC launch on an Aerotech L900DM motor. I had a tracker in it, but
I failed to pick up a signal and, after many hours of searching, gave it up
for lost.

I went out to Redlands met Gabe and Laikyn who were as excited about
finding and returning SWIII as I was about recovering it. Back home, I
found that, in spite of having been in water for a while, all four of
AltusMetrum Easymini flight computers still functioned (with a new
battery). The altimeters registered an apogee height of 12,100ft and a max
velocity of mach 1.1. It was found about 2 miles away, slightly west of
north.
