Acoustic Apogee Detector



Last year we carried out an experiment to see if it was possible to detect apogee (for parachute deployment) using only the sound of air rushing past the rocket. Here is a video of that experiment and the circuit that was used.

More Polaron G2 Flights

Happy New Year everyone! It's been a while since the last post so we wanted to start off the year by posting a new video. This one is from September when we flew our large Polaron G2 rocket again with fall away boosters. 


At the end of the video are also club member's HPR rocket flights that took place on the same day.

Although we published this video a couple of months ago, I am including it with this post as it was filmed on the same day. It is the first flight of our Light Shadow rocket:


Here is the flight report from the day with additional photos:

We hope to start publishing videos and flight reports again on a more regular basis this year.
