Vehicles

Raziel Pathfinder

Raziel Pathfinder was an unflown Test Article from 2016-2017's Project Raziel. After undergoing extensive modifications, the pathfinder was uprated to flight hardware. The construction of this vehicle is primarily E-glass. Early manufacturing limitations limit the maximum length of any tube produced using the old methods to 24in, so the fin can is held together with a coupler. Some of the tubes are distinctly out of round due to a low-quality mandrel used for initial production runs. The nosecone is a modified COTS gelcoat covered 4:1 Ogieve nose cone.
