White Swan

White Swan is a high-powered rocket built for a Level 2 Certification attempt. On March 26th, 2022, White Swan I was successfully launched to an altitude of 4,700 ft, 182 ft off the predicted altitude. The rocket was later recovered safely with no damage, helping me earn my Tripoli Level 2 Certification. This flight also provided invaluable data on vehicle performance, motor, and custom RF beacons.

The avionics module comprises an FWFG tube coupler, switch band, switch, a laser-cut sled, a flight computer, a custom RF beacon, and two (2) 9V batteries.
