PARS ONE, a club rocket, had its first flight at BIG EARS 2006.

Built by Oliver Neil Smith, Dan Goldsmith and Howard Smith, the 4x E-Class Cluster, looking rather than a THOR, was an impressive launch indeed (G Impulse equivalent). On the day, the parachute failed to deploy, but the tall crops prevented the rocket being destroyed. An onboard bleeper premitted the rocket to the found.
