Published on Jul 11, 2013 This was the first tethered flight test of Morpheus vehicle `Bravo` (VTB 1.5B) with Autonomous Landing & Hazard Avoidance Technology (ALHAT) laser sensors integrated on top. We had a good ignition, but during ascent the vehicle translated downrange and exceeded the internally set range safety boundary limit (+/-4m) for tether tests causing an automatic soft abort (= `land now`).
