\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWith a maximum acceleration beyond 30g, comparable to\u00a0The Hound<\/a>, the rocket was accelerated to a velocity of 390 m\/s within 1.4 seconds. The real airspeed could only be determined via integration of the accelerometer data due to the lack of a absolute velocimeter.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nAmongst other data, we were especially interested in the measured evolution of the pressure, measured by a commercial barometer. In the following diagram, the measured pressure is shown besides the estimated airspeed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nA pressure drop is clearly visible while\u00a0approaching and exiting the transonic region. Nevertheless, the apogee-detection of our boardcomputer was capable of determining the apogee perfectly and the rocket was recovered smoothly: A reefed parachute was deployed by a blackpowder charge at apogee, while the main parachute was released by the\u00a0ChuteRelease<\/a>\u00a0at a save height. The reduced descent velocity on the main parachute can be seen in the following diagram.<\/p>\n
