This was the first Hold Down Test for the Buffalo rocket!
In fact, it was the second try, because in the first attempt the motor hadn't ignited!
This time the ignition, power supply, filming, data transmission, and countdown sequence all worked as expected!
On the first look, it seems as the TVC would make some adjustments, but as you can see in the slow-mo footage, de TVC hadn`t responded to any of the measurements!
At first, I thought, the funk communication had its problems, but the data of the reconstruction shows the exact same measurements as the TVC!
Two things could have happened: the flight computer lost its power supply, or only the IMU lost its power connection.
In all the testing before this Hold Down Test, I hadn't had a problem like this one!
My thought is that it's related to the power consumption of the ignitor, as the measurements break down exactly at ignition!
