The HAB ACCord Mission Hop 1: Georgia Tech To Clemson

Launch and land.  There are a lot of steps before and after those things happen.  People have been really interested in how we are going to do this.  They have also been really interested in being able to help and get involved so we thought we would put some info out there.

Mission:
To launch a HAB that will leave from Tech Green on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta, Georgia on May 25 and travel to Clemson, South Carolina.

Primary Launch Site: Tech Green, Atlanta Georgia
Lat. 33.781093
Long. -84.400421

Travel distance is approximately 108 miles

Primary Landing Site:  Bowman Field, Clemson South Carolina
Lat. 34.680843
Long. -82.836630

Mission notes.
1, This will be the first of several "hops".  The ACCord will be recovered, refurbished, and relaunched from Bowman field by the Clemson r3 team with a 24 hour turn around time.

2. In preliminary design, weight will be a large issue because a fundamental goal is to get as high as possible while also traveling towards Clemson.

3. The "Leaders" of the group will be primarily 4th grade students.
