Things i did

  • Found a F-class motor usable for my rocket
  • Designed my rocket in open rocket
  • Tried some diff fins config for best stability
  • Learned equations for selecting parachute diameter for safer landing
  • Designed the nose cone in Fusion 360 using a mathematical python script for accuracy

Things i learned during the process

  • Open rocket’s “time vs stability” graph tend of have some dip right after apogee due to low/zero velocity
  • You must have java installed in-order to use openrocket without any bug
  • Diff between Total mass and dry mass
  • Parachute’s diameter equation
  • Learned how to mathematically generate Haack series nosecone
