Today was working mostly on my landing legs, I first got some inspiration from actual rockets like the falcon 9 and began designing. I first began by modeling the mount that will hold the legs and then worked on actual legs and struts, The main issues was making sure it fit proerly and wouldnt rub against the main ariframe, I made some cutouts in the landing mount to fit the servos, The landing legs will have rubber bands that act as spring and they will be held in the up position with a rubber band, Using a nichrome wire the rubber band will be heated and cut when I need it to deploy. Other than that the final steps will be making the wiring diagram for the launchpad updating github with my code and cad models. I also made a render with gemini that came out suprisingly well.
