Mission
 Mission
Acquisition of flight route by GPS module Parachute opening from rocket fuselage
Result Result
The rocket made a hard landing due to the non-release of the parachute.
We could not get GPS data.		 The rocket made a hard landing due to the non-release of the parachute.

WIRES#006～#007

Mission Mission
Parachute opening from rocket fuselage Use the deceleration chute to open the main chute
Result Result
The rocket made a hard landing due to the non-release of the parachute. The rocket made a hard landing due to the non-release of the parachute.

WIRES#008

Mission Improvement from # 008
  • Opening the main chute using a deceleration chute
  • Acquisition of air data using Pitot tube
  • Acquisition of position data by GPS module
 Ensuring a sufficient altitude for parachute opening by changing the rocket engine and increasing the reached altitude
Result Result
The rocket landed hard due to the non-emission of the parachute because the onboard equipment was not powered on. The flight altitude was found to be insufficient for opening the parachute. The flight became unstable after the launcher escaped, the aircraft and the parachute separated immediately after opening the parachute, and the rocket made a hard landing.

WIRES#009～#010

Improvement from # 008B Mission
If an emergency occurs during flight, or if the parachute is not released even after the scheduled time to open the parachute, the radio system mounted on the rocket wirelessly activates the recovery system from the ground.
In order to stabilize the rocket after exiting the launcher, the launcher length is extended by about 60 cm.
Change the shock cord fixture to a durable one.
  • Operation check of recovery system mechanism
  • Operation check of onboard equipment for the purpose of acquiring flight profile of rocket
  • Acquisition of rocket attitude information by inertial measurement unit
  • Video recording by onboard camera
Result Result
We succeeded in collecting the rocket and confirmed the acquisition of GPS data and air data.
GPS data could not be acquired from about 10 seconds after launch.		 We succeeded in collecting the rocket and confirmed the acquisition of attitude information.
The built-in video camera ran out of memory just before the launch and could not capture the movie during flight.
