Into The Dirt At 180mph - AVA's first HPR Flight 

note-

More like: AVA: This is gonna sound crazy, but I just spoke with IMU and she told me we've exceeded the G load limi

@@sciencecompliance235 AVA: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DO

Maybe earlier just hope that he will soon get success !!

and flying to the moon for searching for a flaschip lol

@ISHAN PATEL if you arrive at the moon-surface at only 180 miles per hour that counts as a success

@@hawwin lol so true

Sooo, uh, we DID get to the moon... 's sphere of influence... So the data did get transmitted, you can see the Doppler shift which is pretty cool, but the rocket didn't hit the moon so it's gonna fall back down now. Watch your head three months from now, I guess.

Is this AVA any different from the previous AVA that flew Scout and Sprint besides the color?

Rip

F

Do you mean RIPieces? D:

more like RIP in space

Camera Tracking isn't rocket science :P

@@NeoSteelZero its rocket tracking science.

@@NeoSteelZero apparently for some people it is

​@@NeoSteelZero but it's cool. and difficult...

Narrator: He was not over it

@@BPSspace oof. Love your humor :)

Small note that it couldn't, since the charge actually fired :P

@@BPSspace read this is Morgan Freeman's voice.

@@BPSspace how would it have saved the flight if there was not enough black powder, was there a backup charge?

I let a two stage rip and never seen it again. God bless if you got your noggin knocked by my rocket.

You can get CC that fluoresces in UV light. Wouldn't be too helpful in midday sun, but if you can get back in the evening with a black light it would help.

Or enclose it in a "black box". Perhaps test different black box builds to balance weight and resistance. Aluminum, ABS, with and without expandable foam inside, etc.

@@dragoonTT In that case, you are probaly the record holder for the fastete craniotomy

“The Confederacy’s rocket program was far more advanced than we ever suspected!”

I would laugh to much in that intro.

I'm sure there was a couple retakes.

Practice my boy, practice.

Because that crash is a breakthrough that can be a troll. :)

Of course, ARCA's goal is nearly impossible.

So far he already has ♾ more flights

Yep

Joe has already beaten them, they have no flights , ARCA just creates some dumb concepts and never fly them.

@@julianpetit4180 ARCA's goal is scam, so it's quite possible (:

It has only flown once, and it's in a very good shape! I mean, not a rectangular shape, but a shape nonetheless

@@BPSspace as a professional on shapes, I can conclusively confirm that is indeed a shape.

Curved to fit the contour of the body!

@@BPSspace I'm actually interested in buying it. Any way possible? That's some history right there!

@@BPSspace It is a very shapely shape, and if I wasn’t already in trouble about “too much stuff” I would bid for it as a memento mori!

Houston, we have a sponsor

Agreed. Part and Parcel of Flying

All is fair in missiles and war.

Lets hope north korea's president wont read that

way to true

I'm somewhat embarrassed that I immediately got that reference 💀

I think he needs to work on smaller rockets first to really master the concepts

@@Fred_the_1996 I think arca needs to work on real rockets

@@Formula1st lol

@@Formula1st facts haha

I was wondering the same. Maybe a combination of both. I am surprised the IC itself survived - no broken pins on the outside and since he was able to read the contents no issues on the inside of the package :O

I dont think that would help with sutch small parts

I'd be scared to magnetize certain parts but good idea for non-sensitive components

@@mynameisjeff-spaceposting1417 yeah on second though I thought the same, but it might work

@@B_Poort ​ @János Skublics magnet will pull the Lost part Then it will explode

@@mynameisjeff-spaceposting1417 ​ @János Skublics magnet will pull the Lost part Then it will explode

Same here

Yeah it looks cool

As a framed piece of historical sculpture, it will become extremely valuable, especially after Joe pulls off his his first interstellar launch.

Yes this was a amazing pre thought on how to protect your data.. even Daddy Elon wouldn't have taken the time to code the boards to check for old flash data! Bravo! Just inspiring!

Bump

yeah looks nice

I have the same question!

Same here

It’s self writtwn

A small holographic sticker, like the "WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED" ones, would do the job quite nicely. They're really shiny so it's much easier to spot them in the grass, and they tend to glow under UV. My other thought was, weight permitting, you could add a small EMI shield over the board around the EEPROM. It'd offer significant additional physical strength and increase the likelihood that the chip would be captured in a catastrophic landing like that, even if the chip was still ripped off the board by the shock of a crash.

Lol!

same LOL

I was wondering about that too

Following

They are cheap, easy to program, holds a lot of memory, are physically small, and write fast. It doesn’t really matter which one you chose, you can’t really go wrong. Writing is fast, clearing (erasing) a page/sector may not be fast. Make sure the chip is pre-cleared before the flight. Use two of them, mark them with a dot of orange nail polish, and maybe pack the PCB in something shock absorbing. Edit: autocorrect had turned "easy" into "use".

@@peterfireflylund Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking at a lot of chips. I'll have to learn how to program them to begin with. I gotta ask, why the dot of nail polish?

@@stochasticsignal1951 So you can find them when the rocket lithobrakes :) They are NOT hard to program, unless you find a completely weirdo one. There is pseudocode + flowcharts in the datasheet. Many of them also have easily found source code in C and/or assembly somewhere on the net.

I find no difference between a micro SD card and a Flash chip for write speed. When I capture data at microsecond intervals, I write to FRAM's then transfer the data to a micro SD card. Using QSPI also helps.

@@Spacedog49 Thanks! Writing to the internal RAM as a buffer followed by a big write to an SD isn't a bad idea. I'll have to see if I can learn a good process for that.

I thought he had said probably not

In the states you need tons of licensees an stuff to be able to launch with liquid fuel, I want to use liquid fuel so bad

This is true though you find out what went wrong so you can improve for the next flight im building my own engines for fuel management

@@emperorsmizz7439 yes I agree. also what kind of engines are you building?

@@wadlet3380 a reusable model rocket engine which separates fuel stacks when 1st burn is complete simply open chamber drop fuel in close chamber reignite either as a 2nd burn or landing burn , its going to take sometime to perfect but ill make a youtube channel for that I also have rotational engines for a harrier like landing they will be interesting as I can turn a rocket into hybrid rocketjet

@@emperorsmizz7439 thats cool! are you using solid fuel engines? also are you designing a rocket then 3d printing it?

@@wadlet3380 yes for solid fuel and thats the plan so far but I think they will be easy to make

Its not hard they just don't want anyone to make them for obvious reasons hardest part is keeping signal during flight the rest is simple

its illegal.

Ya Hes like elon but making model rockets
