So today I planned out my overall idea for my rocket, I named it Hermes and this rocket will be used for both my L1 and L2 certifications. It is 1.7m in length, has a 34mm motor mount to hold a variety of motors and uses a dual deploy system.

A dual depoly system basically means that instead of releasing just on big parachute at apoggee and letting the rocket drift for that time, there initally is something called a drogue chute which is a small chute that only slow the rocket down adn minimzes drift, and after the rocket reaches a lower altitude it depolys the main parachutes(close to 100-120m).

The parachutes will be deployed using pyrotechnics, and will be timed with an onboard flight computer. Now I already have built a flight computer in the past that I could use for this flight, But that computer is still in the testing stages, so in the coming day’s im going to decide wheter I should just use that flight computer or get another seperate flight computer for redundancy.

The rocket will be made of a cardboard airframe and strengthened with an extra layer of fiberglass, This will probably be only for the main body and not the nose cone but I might also do it for the nose cone in the future. Beside that I’m going to have to figure out the flight computer dilema work more on bringing my stability caliber closer to 0 and beginning the Cad, and ya thats it.
