On the 16th May, 2015, 9 members of the TU Spaceteam lifted off rockets on the airfield Roitzschjora, organised by the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Modellraketen Deutschland”.
The Space Team started 4 rockets in total, where the workhorse of the team turned out to be our trusty STR-03A Phoenix, which completed 3 of the 4 take offs. Phoenix’s flights successfully tested our new, even smaller board computer (60mm diameter). Furthermore, a radio transmission with 5GHz- Outdoor-Wifi was tested and we could successfully receive live-videos from the rocket to the ground station.
There was also a successful maiden flight: the STR-Needle. This rocket is a nearly completely 3D printed rocket and managed to reach an altitude of 900 m. Unfortunately, the deployment of the rockets parachute ran into some problems and the forces through landing broke the 3D printed fins.
The Space Team would like to thank the companies Schiebel and 3Dee for their support.
