On Saturday, February 13, at 12:34, the Flying Mouse prototype launched from the SLP-1 test launch pad. After exactly 2 minutes, the car turned off all the engines. After overcoming the apogee, the ship immediately turned on its belly. While in free fall for 2 minutes 24 seconds, the prototype re-started its 3 engines and flipped to a horizontal position. Descending in height, he gently lowered the thrust of the engines in order to gently sit down. The flying mouse touched the ground at a speed of 0.6 m / s. This is slightly more than planned, but the vertical speed prevented it from making an ultra-soft landing.
