This documentation provides a comprehensive analysis of the flight dynamics of EOSS186, focusing on the real-time data and logged measurements from KC0YA-11 and KC0UUO-11. Flight details and altitude changes, including ascent rates at both 1-second and 30-second intervals, are accessible at findU.com and eoss.org. Key findings reveal that the GPS drop-out observed during KC0YA-11 is unlikely to have resulted from flight dynamics. Following the burst, strong lateral motion was detected, persisting during descent without affecting GPS performance in either payload.

Altitude and ascent rate from the KC0YA-11 log data available after flight
3D movement from KC0UUO-11 log for “t127” period in ascent rate list
3D movement from KC0UUO-11 log for two minute period around burst
Conclusions from one second data • It is not apparent that flight dynamics caused the 127 second GPS drop-out on KC0YA-11 • Burst resulted in strong lateral motion (post-burst chaos?) persisting during the descent • Lateral motion during descent did not impact GPS operation in either KC0YA-11 or KC0UUO-11 • Lateral motion started several seconds after burst and was likely not caused by burst directly
