Goals
Team:
1. Fly to 80,000 ft
2. Recover to reflyable condition
3. Collect data: Nose cone heating throughout flight, load data from parachutes, visual data of parachutes, altitude, acceleration, vibration (NC and lower electronics)Recovery:
Add desired landing velocity, landing radius, other expectations
Structures:
All structures survive flight, nothing breaks, materials survive temperature changes
Avionics:
Measure altitude & acceleration and actuate necessary flight events
Payload:
Collect data on nose cone heating throughout flight
Propulsion:
Fly to 80,000 ft, motor performs nominally (no CATO, thrust curve within 5%)
