I'm starting this new thread to get as much information as I can about all of the altimeter, drogue deployments, basic avionics, recovery devices, transmission and receiving video/data, and altitude based deployment devices. I am a partner of JackO. We are both apart of the Chaminade Aerospace Laboratory and I have been tasked with finding sufficient products to make sure we can get video, flight data, and the rocket safely to the ground. For those who have not read up on JackO's rocket, we have just finished our initial tests and are working to create a boosted dart to >150,000 ft.
To start off.
The dart would house all avionics and electronics (and keep them in there safely). Some problems I've been having is finding a purchasable altimeter and deployment system that can function from 150,000-200,000 ft in the air (plus the g force of the dart). There also needs to be a way to successfully transmit HD video from a gopro which is also in the rocket (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART THAT MUST BE INCLUDED ABOVE ALL ELSE). We are also trying to attach a streamer system out of the booster and a parachute out of the dart.
For the electronics please also post about the software that would be needed and how to use.
We currently have $500 for all avionics and recovery for everything.
I hope it is enough. Please feel free to make a list of parts that will be useful, and send some tips and tricks to JackO and I.
Here's the rocket we are currently designing and building:
