Subscale • Actual results • Apogee 1357’ • Max Vel. 459 ft/s • Weight 1.873
Final Payload Design In our mission, the desired direction will be a GPS transmitter on the ground with the receiver in the probe. The goal is to have the GPS guide the probe using the systems on board to “Home base” which will be the launch pad. The scientific significance of this UAV is to introduce a convenience factor into recovery of rocket parts that have implicated the same hardware as this UAV will have.
