Launchday #32 and #33

Post by RaketfuedRockets »

Our latest launchday report summarizes two launch days in one video:

Make sure you turn on subtitles if you don't speak German

Launch day #32
Launch day #32 took place on the 2nd of November, and was basically a meeting with Aircommando Walldorf.
The purpose of the launchday was to film the launch of our rocket, built in our latest tutorial, with a drone.
After a failure due an exploded pressure vessel segment, and a cancelled launch due a leaky tornado tube seal,
we were able to launch the rocket two times successfully.
We also launched a couple of Tomahawk-Rockets to verify the benefit of an ARB-System.
The results were less impressive than anticipated, but we were able to measure a 10% increase of maximum altitude using an ARB-System.
Finally, we launched the "SkyHopser 2", a rocket with a volume of 4.3 liters, three times with a pressure of about 100 psi.

Launch day #33
Launch day #33 took place on 31th of December in Denmark, Nymindegab.
We wanted to launch the "SkyHopser 1", equipped with our HD-Onboard-Camera to film the beautiful landscape.
Unfortunately, the camera fell out of the rocket during the first Launch and was destroyed, but we reset and launched the rocket again without camera.
