Rocketry

This is the video downlink of a 4” rocket. The video overlay included my HAM Radio call sign, a force vector (Up or Down), Fin vibration, Bus voltage, Temperature, Mission elapsed time in two tenths of a second increments (Pre-launch, it rests at -0.2 seconds), and pressure altitude.

A bad day at the ‘office.’ A launch at Ford Field goes badly.

Argus IV, my 2.6 inch video rocket ready for launch. The camera mirror was so large compared to the frontal area, the rocket spun so fast the video was poor.

Argus II, my first rocket with a video downlink and a recovery system uplink. The noise from the servos caused some video interference. With all the excitement, the command for the tracking smoke was sent instead of the parachute eject command. This burned the parachutes before ejection, causing a rather rough recovery! This video includes video  from ground and from the rocket.

Rocket Propulsion Analysis

Rocket Propulsion Analysis (RPA) is a multi-platform analysis tool intended for use in conceptual and preliminary design (design phases 0/A/B1). RPA utilizes an expandable chemical species library based on NASA Glenn thermodynamic database and Gurvich thermodynamic database, that includes data for numerous fuels and oxidizers, such as liquid hydrogen and oxygen, kerosene, hydrogen peroxide, MMH, and many others.
