In January 13th, 2003, we launched CAMUI hybrid rocket at Taiki Town, Hokkaido, Japan. This is the 2nd launch of our rocket. In 1st launch, the rocket could not return safely because the parachute could not open. But, this time, we could recover the rocket body with barely a mark.
CAMUI is short for CAscaded MUltistage Impinging-jet. In Ainu, the language of the native population of Hokkaido, Japan, CAMUI means God.
