Rocket Prototype | Devlog 3

Today, I finally learned the fundamentals of OpenRocket! I worked out where to place the individual components, such as the parachute deployment system, whilst also discerning key concepts like the centre of gravity and centre of pressure.

I modelled it within the optimal stability range of 1.5-2 cal with it being 2.01 cal. This was truly a fun process as I got to play around with dimensions, measure some components irl (the body of my rocket is going to be a 660x60mm postal tube, so I based the measurements of this as such!).

Now that I have planned out the build dimensions, I can shift my focus towards learning how to make an avionics bay and furthering my SolidWorks knowledge!
