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
