We prepared two different rockets for the launch event Balls XXX. Both use the same concept and almost identical airframe but they differ in the motor configuration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cThe Hound Minor\u201d: Cesaroni M1545 over N4100<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe Hound Major\u201d: Cesaroni M2245 over N5800<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Major was simulated to reach an altitude of 90\u2013120 km. Due to its high velocity (&gt; Mach 5) and acceleration (&gt; 40 g) it will be under great aerodynamic and mechanical stress. Minor on the other hand is only estimated to reach an altitude of approx. 55 km. This is enough to break the European record but puts less stress on the rocket increasing the chance of a successful flight.<\/p>\n<h1>Logistics and Preparations<\/h1>\n<p>As in the previous years we chose to do our preparations in Reno\/NV. All our hardware left Austria already a month before, but there were many delays with the shipping because of, e.g., the customs office. The delivery did, however, arrive soon enough so that we could put our preparation time to good use: unpacking, last pre-flight checks, preparing pyrotechnics, organizing food for the desert, and much more was done.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11467 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-15_10-47-56-scaled-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-15_10-47-56-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-19_22-46-20-scaled-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-19_22-46-20-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-19_20-33-59-scaled-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-19_20-33-59-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-21_01-52-40.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-21_01-52-40-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-20_21-10-19-scaled-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-20_21-10-19-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-20_18-47-04.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wptest3.tust.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-09-20_18-47-04-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h1>Black Rock Desert: BALLS XXX<\/h1>\n<p>The rocketry event <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rimworld.com\/ballslaunch\/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BALLS XXX<\/a> (held for the 30th time) is organized by a local group of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripoli.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tripoli Rocketry Association<\/a>.

Lift-off was nominal and also the upper stage motor ignited after 16 s \u2013 just as planned. For the first time a TU Wien Space Team rocket was accelerated to beyond Mach 4. Unfortunately, it turned out that at such high speeds the rocket was not aerodynamically stable enough. Instead of coasting to an altitude of more than 50 km, the upper stage only reached 10.2 km AGL.<\/p>\n<p>The lower stage landed nominally on its parachute and was quickly recovered. Due to the unintended acrobatic flight maneuvers at max. velocity the upper stage broke into three parts which all landed without a parachute.
