− | '''SSI-83''' (project designation '''CY-1''') was the maiden launch of [[Cycloon|Project Cycloon]] on April 17, 2019. A proof-of-concept of Cycloon's aero-marine platform architecture, it was the first marine-tether profile launch in SSI's history. It was also a rare nighttime launch, a rare weekday launch, and the first-ever launch from Pigeon Point Light Station. | + | '''SSI-86''' (project designation '''CY-2''') was the second launch of [[Cycloon|Project Cycloon]] on May 18, 2019, featuring a legacy ballast mechanism from ValBal operated by Cycloon avionics and marking the beginning of ''#cy-flops''. The mission was noted for its low-altitude profile and highly remarkable, unanticipated resumption of flight after being grounded overnight, the only such occurance in SSI history |
