This is a drop test of the model rocket (Newton) performed from a Drone to test the flight computer's capability to deploy the recovery parachute at a certain altitude. This test is the last phase of development testing before the big day..... Launch. This is the first time the flight computer got air time, so we wanted to see how it performed. As you can see opened a bit late and almost hit the ground hard. At the end all worked reasonably well to move to the next phase. http://www.instagram.com/kikolobo --- A lot of the work featured here is inspired by Joe Barnard from http://bps.space
