In late 2023, I acquired an Aerotech J435WS rocket motor. This is the highest impulse DMS 38mm motor, so I wanted to do something special with it. Project Phoebe, named after Flame Princess from Adventure Time, is the highest performance high power rocket that I've built and flown. It is a quite small rocket, but flew to 12.5k' altitude and to 2.5 times the speed of sound.

Attached below is the flight report for Project Phoebe.
