# PinkBeary

UC Berkeley's first student-built staged rocket

PinkBeary (SSEP) was launched at FAR on 17 September 2022. The mission of stage separation was successful, but a rapid unscheduled disassembly (RUD) about 1 second after upper stage motor airstart due to improper airframe connection caused a partial mission failure.
