This video covers the launch of our world record water rocket flight. The 2 stage, high pressure 1000psi (69 bar) water rocket is called Horizon and took almost 7 years to develop. This video goes into the details of launch day operations, the flight itself, looks at some observations and finishes with a detailed look at the data captured by the three on-board flight computers.
The short highlights video of this flight is here:

We are releasing free of charge all the data, CAD, STL files, including design notes, technical drawings etc. here: https://github.com/air-command/horizon
Please Note: This repository will be updated over the coming weeks/months as we sort through everything we have and make it available.
