  1. Hello Mr. Jurvetson, I’m one of the students that launched this rocket, will it be ok for me to download and reuse your image? Thank you

  2. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/181781845@N04] sure!

    All of my photos are free to use forever with a simple photo credit: “Photo by Jurvetson on flickr” For online use, please have the credit line link to the original page.

    Also, can you remind me of the motor flown and Payload story? Altitude?

    Thank you. We used an Aerotech M1297W aimed to get to 10000ft and deployed the payload which is 8.8 lbs and can record temperature, pressure, and CO2 density. This flight clocked 7450ft that day as we tested.
    We are San Jose State University, mentored by Tom Rouse. The rocket also tested his new reefed parachute system.
