Well, that's my first unscripted video. Not perfect and too many "umms" and "uhhs", but not bad. What do you think? Aaron from Motech Space vs Walter from DIY Aerospace coming soon! #modelrockets #space #engineering

Finally, the long awaited PVC rocket launched. I first started designing it 2 years ago, but it took me a while to actually start building it. #modelrockets #space #rockets

We started building this altimeter 2 years ago and we launched it for the first time last year. Now we want to validate its data and make sure we can trust it in the future. HOW TO BUILD: I do not have wiring diagram at the moment, but please look at the overview, instructions, and diagrams of the MPL3115A2 altimeter MPL3115A2 diagram and overview: https://learn.adafruit.com/using-mpl3... Instead of using the SCL and SDA pins on the arduino, you can just use the A4 and A5 pins You can use any data logger, but you'll need to figure out how to wire it. You should also use capacitors just to be safe. When you actually get to logging data, I would recommend not logging pressure and temperature because they slow down the logging. I put my code in github. It's a bit messy but it works: https://github.com/MotechSpace/Motech-Space-Altiemter You'll also need the library I used: https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_MPL3115A2_Breakout_Arduino_Library 0:00 Intro 0:38 Overview 1:15 Sorry Zeph 1:54 First launch 2:48 Second launch 4:21 Conclusion #modelrockets #space

3d printed ejection charge baffles work! Good news for TVC testing. Zephyr III used a 24mm tube, 3d printed nosecone, fins, and motor mount, and flew on a B6-4.

We're getting closer to finally testing this rocket! This video is an overview of what will be on the rocket. #modelrockets #space

Sorry for not uploading for so long but... WE GOT TO 100 SUBS!!! These are some of our plans for the future. This video took so long to make because of school. Honestly, it might be another few months until I upload again. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Thanks to @DIY aerospace for the Mach Machine suggestion!

Our last design was kinda bad so we redesigned it. We should have a fully built prototype really soon! #modelrockets #space

Finally a TVC update! Make sure to subscribe because we'll have lots of updates and design changes in the next few months. Check out our website for more information on Motech Space and our rockets: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motec... Contact us: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motec...

Will we finally figure out why the fins broke off and what can we do to improve the rocket? Check out our website for more information on Motech Space and our rockets: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motechspace Contact us: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motechspace/contact

To get into high power rocketry, it's a good idea to get into reload motors. This was our first time using a reload!

Finally, we got data! We will preform a few more tests to validate this data and the altimeter in the near future. Stay tuned!

This was a very important test. Did it succeed and will we launch Falconry 1 one more time, or did it fail and will we give up? Happy New Year! 🥳 I was a little sick while making this video so excuse me if you feel the video was a little rushed. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJBhJOnFYprU3_8H1LV2SZg

This is our second try of igniting a second stage model rocket engine with our homemade fuse. Check out our website for more information on Motech Space and our rockets: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motechspace Contact us: https://aaroneliahu.wixsite.com/motechspace/contact #modelrockets #space
