In this video, I build a modified Wildman Rocketry Falcon 98 minimum diameter rocket kit and fly it on an Aerotech N1000. The rocket's airframe and fins are entirely made from carbon fiber, while the nosecone and coupler are fiberglass for RF transparency because of the GPS tracker onboard.
The rocket achieved a maximum altitude of over 47,000 feet at BALLS, a high-power rocket launch event held in Black Rock, Nevada, near the site of Burning Man. On its way up, it managed a top speed of just over Mach 2, or over 1,500 miles per hour (MPH).
High-power rocketry is a hobby similar to model rocketry. The major difference is that higher impulse range motors are used. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) definition of a high-power rocket is one that has a total weight of more than 1,500 grams (3.3 lb) and contains a motor or motors containing more than 125 grams (4.4 oz) of propellant and/or rated at more than 160 Newton-seconds (40.47 lbf·s) of total impulse, or that uses a motor with an average thrust of 80 newtons (18 lbf) or more.
The Tripoli Rocketry Association and the National Association of Rocketry are the major sanctioning bodies for the hobby in the US, providing member certifications, and criteria for general safety guidelines.
