Following the launch, the rocket will be inspected; should the airframe be deemed suitable for flight given a new motor, it will have passed L1 certification. Failed deployment, motor cato, drifting beyond a particular range (see launch officer), or the violation of other safety codes will result in a failure. L1 certification, however, is an excellent introduction to the basic operations of rockets and recovery! See [[Pegasus|Pegasus]] for a description of an L1 rocket used as a testbed for an L3 concept.
