STABILITY CHARACTERISTICS
CG
CP
• The center of pressure (CP) is located 79.427" from the
nose tip
• The center of gravity (CG) is located 72.715" from the
nose tip
• Static Stability Margin of 1.68 increasing to 2.20 at
motor burnout
VEHICLE VERIFICATION
Vehicle verification focused on safe recovery and
reliable platform for LFD payload
Testing will be done to allow triple redundancy
for drogue and main separation events
Accurate Stress analysis for all components

RECOVERY SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Drogue parachute housed in lower airframe,
below electronics bay
First separation event utilizes piston ejection and
drag generated by fins for reliable separation
Main parachute housed in upper airframe, above
electronics bay
Second separation event utilizes piston ejection
Shear pins prevent premature separation of
nosecone and of lower airframe
RECOVERY REDUNDANCY
Dual PerfectFlite StratoLogger altimeters
Two-way communication via Raspberry Pi allows
use of manual charge detonation system.
System will be tested thoroughly before put into
use.

FLIGHT SIMULATIONS
OpenRocket and MATLAB used to simulate the
rocket’s flight
MATLAB code is 1-DOF that uses ode45
Allows the user to vary coefficient of drag for
different parts of the rocket
Wind tunnel testing and full-scale demonstration
will allow more accurate Cd values
PRELIMINARY RESULTS
MATLAB code is compared with OpenRocket
Maximum altitude approximately 190 ft. lower
than OpenRocket but still near target
High target altitude to account for drag due to
LFD Payload
MOTOR CHOICE
Cesaroni L1720
Max Thrust 394 lb
Impulse 831 lb-s
Powerful motor allows altitude to be met with
increased drag due to LFD Payload.
Gives a thrust to weight ratio of 13.1

Successfully fulfill subscale flight requirements
while testing flight software
Begin manufacturing of rollerons, LFD fins, and
ADP
Continue community outreach and educational
engagement functions
