Polaris is CRT's competition rocket for the 2019 Spaceport America Cup. Its payload is a guided parafoil which ejects from the forward section during descent. Unfortunately, Polaris experienced a CATO due to imperfections in the commercially built motor that was purchased, which caused an uneven burn, and the eventual failure of the launch.
