Although not directly related to our project, we would just like to let everyone know that today, Wednesday October 28th, NASA completed a successful test launch of the new ARES-I launch vehicle.

This unmanned test-flight checked all the onboard flight systems as well as the separation system from the 1st stage- Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) and the 2nd- upper stage of the rocket (which was a dummy for this flight.)

The link below will allow you to watch the short video of the test-flight.
