Lafayette Systems produces rocket technology demonstrators, typically employing active control systems and networked commanding and telemetry. My goal is to get people interested in STEM and share some cool rockets!

Are you planning on adding a terminal guidance stage with a seeker head, or just waypoints? There are plenty of cheap miniaturized options now. (Take a look at the Raytheon StormBreaker for some cool ideas.)
That dramatic failure footage was epic. I know it must have sucked, but that was spectacular. The slow-mo red parts flying buy after impact made me chuckle. Why are things comical in slow-mo?
Hey there Lafayette. Aerospace Engineering Lecturer in the UK here. Coincidentally someone who's going to be soon doing some bug-fixing PR's on open rocket. That in mind, I would like remind you that MATLAB has a Java API which , if integrated into your project, could allow you to make some gorgeous UI's / general apps that could act as a middle man between several software. Could be something worth pursuing (as, for context, OpenRocket is written in Java)
OpenRocket is GNU GPL. I would say you had an obligation to show your model. If you didn't want to make your work public, that is understandable. But then why make this video and brag about your model if you are not going to show it. People like you disgust me. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
Very cool! Is your main system board an FPGA or SOC microcontroller? I could not determine, just saw that it was a QFP package. You got my gears turning. Got to put my Bambu X1C to some practical usage. Lol
