Today was assembly day, I worked on first bringing all the parts together in onshape and I made sure to keep everything organized so its easier in the future for changes, I first began by making the rocket nose and tubing in onshape. I then got a 3d model of my flight controller pcb and made my own avionics bay for it, I made sure to leave space and areas for wiring. After that I began by making the complete assembly, I added the servos to the tvc mount and had to change some dimenions to make sure it fit properly, Then I made a full rocket model, and made sure to add the servos for the control arms on the launchpad. I ran into some dimensions issues but I went back and changed those pretty easily. I then got the lights and cameras in my cad.

I added 2 esp32 camera modules to the launchpad to record everything, I’m not sure if these will be fixed posistions ill probably move them around. I als added some WS2812 Breakout boards around the launchpad, and I also want to recreate the strobing red light effect thats used on the blue origin launchpad before it blew up, I didnt add the rgb strip light to the main strucutre yet and ill have to do that later. But that’s basically it, I’m also planning on adding aluminium protection on the flame trench just 5mm plates, and i’m going to add a small water pump to help out more with cooling. The final steps for this project will be making the BOM, writing the code, and finalizing cad.
