Level 1 Certification

Certification rocket launched to receive level 1 certification status with the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). Reached an apogee of 1,200 feet and utilized integrated altimeter to delay chute release.

Level 2 Certification Rocket

Certification rocket designed to receive level 2 certification with the National Association of Rocketry. Has a maximum projected altitude of 2,500 ft.

Flight Computer

  • Integrated altimeters detect apogee and deployment altitude from barometric pressure

  • Drogue and main chute are deployed via pyrotechnic charges

  • Reduced descent time allows for higher altitude flights

  • More reliable recovery operations
