Made on the base of the Fly High V5, it uses advanced avionics to store the flight data on an SD card.

VICTORYI 

A new high tech rocket, built to get the data necessary for a longer flight with a solid rocket motor

​

Made entirely of cardboard and PLA is very sturdy and ready to withstand multiple launches with little to no maintenance

The main parts of the rocket are:

​

  • cardboard tube

  • aerodynamic fins

  • launch holders

  • avionics support MODIFIED

  • avionics

  • servo support

  • upper spacer

  • ogival nose cone

  • nylon parachute

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Avionics Bay is the heart of the rocket, modified for the BMP280 sensor. Thanks to a lightweight LiPo battery the whole assembly weights less than 100 grams.

In order to accomodate the larger electronics the avionics bay is made up of 3 separate pieces

The MPU 6050 is the arduino sensor used to deploy the parachute. An ' if ' clause is set up to open the recovery system when the gravitational acceleration vector is projected on the X or Y axis for the most part. 

The ogival nose cone is hollow on the inside, saving as much weight as possible. It holds the parachute inside a small compartment, ready for its deploy at apogee.

With the help of a blender simulation we can estimate the parts that cause the most drag and optimize them for a smoother, longer flight. The red particles represent air slowing down as it moves down the rocket.
