Thrust Vector Controlled SLS Model Rocket Flight #1
157This is my first thrust vector controlled rocket. I wasn't as good on recording things so there isn't as much content around it but I wanted to put it out there! The whole thing is being heavily upgraded to work with the new launch pad and correct the roll issue from this flight.
This one uses a slightly rigged up quadcopter flight controller plugged into a Arduino to control the altimeter, heading direction, and chutes. The boosters failed to disconnect on burnout leading to some crazy spinning end over end. right before launch i made them fit tighter and that was a bad call...
The initial few seconds show some promise and did prove the TVC worked and the internal roll program can be seen working in a bend in the exhaust plume at T+1 second.
