On December 4, 1995 at 4:20 in the morning Mountain Standard Time, the
XQC experiment was launched from the 350 Tower at launch complex 36 from
White Sands Missile Range in White Sands, New Mexico. The rocket reached
a maximum altitude of 230 km and landed approximately 15 minutes later
80 miles north of the launch site. Just after dawn, part of the experiment
team left in two military helicopters to recover
the payload.
