Researching and building the Baby Rocket has been a surprisingly fun and rewarding project. As I prepare for the first 2-stage launch, I am documenting the test program and subsequent flights.
Planned Test Flights
HPR-01
Configuration:
- Single stage only
- Dual deploy
- Motor Ejection - backup
Electronics:
- Stratologger CF - primary recovery
- Grissom - backup recovery

The StratoLogger fires both drogue and main charges. The Grissom will fire a main charge at alt - 100ft The EasyTimer will log flight data for analysis.
HPR-02
Configuration:
- Full Stack
- Single deploy
- Single stage
