4 | 29 Oct. 2016 | AltAcc Data | Aerotech K780 | Dallas Area Rocket Society at Prairie Hill. Nice flight on an Aerotech K780 marred only by landing on the runway.. |
3883' (AltAcc) 3739' (RDAS) |
3 | 16 Oct. 2004 | AltAcc Data | Aerotech L850 | Dallas Area Rocket Society Shoot for the Stars launch using an Aerotech L850. A beautiful boost but a EMI induced glitch caused very early deployment. | 6842' (AltAcc)
6592' (RDAS) 6,599' (GPS) |
2 | LDRS day 4 | AltAcc Data | AMW M1850 | Day 4 of LDRS. The M1850 lit quickly using a dipped E-match ignitor from an on field vendor. (Oxral E-match with Magnalite pyrogen.) Great boost but the main parachutes came out much higher than the intended 1000'. Lots of data including GPS. | 10,992 (AltAcc)
10,370' (RDAS) 10,430' (GPS) |
1 | LDRS day 3 | AltAcc Data | AMW L1060 | Day 3 of LDRS and the first flight for this rocket. The motor took a long time to some up to pressure using the Quickburst ignitor. But after that it was a perfect flight. The only downside was that the main section draped its shock cord over a power line. Only 110 and insulated so no problem. Lots of data to work through: AltAcc, RDAS, and GPS. | 5,742' (AltAcc)
5,520' (RDAS) 5,569' (GPS) |
Raw altimeter data files in a compressed tar archive (understood by WinZIP). You will need something to interpret those files. I have the software packages for both the AltAcc and RDAS but the AltAcc at least is for an ancient version of Windows. Source code for Linux/POSIX systems was also published and I have that. If you need something, just ask.
