STES Rocketry

On 29th January, the team conducted a flight test of our redesigned Stellareye rocket that flew at Latin American Space Challenge last year. This demo flight has a planned apogee of 980m and achieved 750m AGL. The goal of this flight was to test the single opening dual deploy recovery system, SRAD flight computer deployment logic and telemetry, acoustic levitation payload LEVI, team designed launch rail and supporting GSE.
All components other than a backup COTS RRC3 were team designed and gave enough confidence to plan future missions at our home ground to validate new designs in flight.
Next up, Spaceport America Cup !
