# Launches
The new design was tested on [Launch Day 2024](Launch Days/Launch Day 2024). It was tested with two motor configurations:
1. Single D9-7 motor
2. Single D6-5 motor in the center and four C6-P motors in the boosters
Motor configuration 1 was stable and the parachute deployed at approx. the right altitude (key learning from A6M1).
Motor configuration 2 was instable and followed a spiraling flight curve. It crashed without parachute deployment.
