Today I did some basic ground work. I first began by looking at my old flight computer I made this during blueprint but I never got to submitting which I don’t know why I didnt, beside that I added some silkscreen on the front and I’m going to add some on the back. After I began work on my rocket, So the main thing I had to think about was how the first and second motor ignition would work, I saw some examples like how joe barnard did with his scout e rocket but I had a diffrent idea. I split my rocket basically into 2 stages
The first stage has the ascent motor and is connected to the actual main rocket via a coupler, There is also a tvc mount for this stage which is connected to the flight computer via jumper wires. After the ascent motor is burned out the rocket reaches apoggee and starts coming back down and after a set time a pyro charge ignites the 2nd motor this will basically hot burn the first ascent stage off the rocket, To protect the first stage I’m going to add a thin aluminium bulkhead with a layer of some sort of heat insulation, and during the seperation The servo wires for the first stage tvc will just pull apart. I’m still thinking about wheter I will just let the first stage just fall or find a way for a parachute to fit safely, If anybody has some way I could bring it safely down I would love to here it, I’m going to start working on the landing legs soon and I need to work on a small emergency parachute for the first stage incase the motor doesnt light or the legs don’t come out as intended.
