The Prospector 6 (P6) test vehicle was successfully launched from a Mojave, California test site. Recovery of the low-cost rocket took place on May 21st


A joint industry/academic team is hoping to develop a low-cost Nanosat Launch Vehicle that can deliver small (10 kg) payloads into low Earth orbit.


The partially reusable P6 test vehicle is designed and built by Garvey Spacecraft Corporation in Long Beach, California and California State University.
