Fair point. Ok, for a small contribution:
Last weekend we launched the 1:1 scale V2 HPR rocket. It was a success, albeit
at a much lower altitude than we all would have liked, but hey, you can't
expect to break altitude records launching a 400kg rocket on a single O motor:)
Anyway, the low altitude apogee certainly provided some challenges for
recovery, but the CO2 separation and deployment system that I mentioned here
last year worked a treat. The valve system was quite a different design to the
system I generally settled on. The remote fill hose disconnect system worked a
treat (controlled by the LCO controller). The devices' pressure status
reporting and remote activation all worked perfectly on the day.
Hats off to all involved in the project. Great team, fantastic team leader
and support from everyone.
Troy.
