Yesterday during our launch attempt we experienced an off nominal abort during ignition resulting in significant damage to parts of the rocket and making it unable to be launched.

We are extremely proud of the hard work the team put in and so grateful to all of our supporters who helped get Limelight to the launch rail. We look forward to applying the lessons learned from Limelight to our next project.

Over the last few months, MASA has successfully completed Limelight’s coldflow campaign! The data collected from these tests allowed us to validate Limelight as flight-ready. We are so proud and excited for the launch of Limelight on May 16th or 17th!

We’d like to give special thanks to the Eaton Corporation, who donated our COPV (composite overwrapped pressure vessel). Without this generous sponsorship, Limelight’s launch and testing would not be possible. Their continuous and generous support is greatly appreciated by MASA.
