Project: Icarus is a proof of concept model rocketry research project that brings several individual projects together into a single model rocketry research launch vehicle. This specific project includes an avionics payload, temperature sensors along the body, and a video camera. The sensors record the heat buildup inside the body tube as the solid rocket motor burns and fires the ejection charge. The sensors are placed in three different locations along the body tube to provide data on the...

If you do a search for model rocket electronic payload, you will see a lot of entries for medium to high power, large diameter rockets. These types of rockets are large, typically 80mm (3.1 inches) in diameter or larger. These rockets are flown in large open areas, often deserts and dry lake beds. These larger rockets also use larger propellants, typically in the High Power Rocketry (HPR) range of “H” and above impulse level. Not only do these motors require you to be certified in HPR, the...
