Greetings fellow rocket scientists. I and my elite team of engineers and scientists have strived to develop the first cache placed on the moon. Because of high cost of having a private shuttle take us and the cache to the moon, we made the decision to, literally strap rocket boosters on to the cache, and well, quite frankly blast it skyward.

We equipped a new scientific breakthrough GPS transmitter that works not only on earth but in outer space. Since we weren’t going with the cache to the moon it is was necessary to have this feature.

But weight was an issue. The GPS transmitter weighed more than we hoped, so we had to add secondary boosters and take a few trinkets out. The rocket weighed an ultimate of 0.864 lb. After years of research and hard work, we were ready. March 21, 2007 was L-Day. We picked the perfect date for the launch, and the perfect spot (the above coordinates). We angled the launch pad at the angle of 45º for maximum distance. The direction the launch pad faced was a bearing of 54.159º. Unfortunately catastrophe struck. The good news was that the secondary boosters ignited. The bad news is that the primary booster failed at ignition. Without the primary booster, the rocket did not have enough power to leave the atmosphere due to earth’s strong gravitational pull. The impulse of the secondary boosters both equaled to 14.64 lb per second. The rocket was not able to even skim the stratosphere. We soon lost the signal to the on board GPS transmitter, probably due to a crash landing. Due to complications with the Homeland Security and the FBI, we cannot retrieve the rocket. So we are asking you, fellow cachers, to help us by finding it.

There is enough information above, for you to be able to find the cache. But for your ease here is a link toFizzyMagic. For FTF you get the TB. If you want parking coords, subtract 0.248 from the final N coords, and subtract 0.229 from the final W coords. Here's a link toEquations Note: This will greatly aid you, and it will take much out the challenge.
