Back in the 2000's there was a guy in New Zealand who built a pulse-jet rocket using only parts ordered online. Supposedly it would fly up to 160km and deliver a 10kg "package". Apparently this guy took part in a British TV show called Scrapheap Challenge. He constructed a working pulse-jet out of scrap in about 10 hours. It was then attached to a kart that got up to 64km/h

The safety culture that armature rocketeers keep is really awesome. It reminds me of what the RC multirotor hobby was like before the uneducated got hold of drones from DJI and other companies, and governments quickly banned everything. That safety culture will keep the hobby alive and thriving for as long as it is maintained. You guys are awesome!

I agree that people fly where they aren't supposed to and that has caused a *ton* of issues for those of us who practice proper safety. But it's worth mentioning that not everything was perfect before the DJI influx. RC hardware and software has gotten sooo much better, safety-wise in the last few years. I remember a bunch of runaways, wrongly set failsafe modes with never to be seen again equipment, just straight up bugs in esc software, burning drones and whatnot. All the old timers that I know fly without prearm switches and even mentioning it gets met with scepticism. Some hand-launch or even hand-land their drones. It's just a hobby that tends to attract slightly insane people 😂

Came for this comment, was not disappointed.

I’m still impressed you just got the flight control system to keep the rocket from spinning! The other stuff is just, wow…. 🤯

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

Also please post some sort of articles for fellow amateurs to implement and understand what you have built, please. I’d love to understand the electronics and code side of this better to basically do the same thing but with side mounted cameras. Not saying share code btw just understanding concepts and software language better in context to these sorts of things.

Fins are incredibly difficult to use for rocket guidance because they give you an enormous power of steering in all axis. 1 degree off and your rocket will break under the high g forces… This rocket is a masterpiece!

super impressive. extremely high level engineering. its gotta be so satisfying seeing your guidance system working in the air.

Nice work. The level of control is impressive. Those onboard camera sounds are sweet.

Do you think it could be helpful to check at the transition of Launch-Dir-Hold to Waypoint whether the angle or resulting force between the current trajectory and the predicted trajectory would exceed a threshold for safe maneuver?

Incredible flights and precision!

Instead of printing parts at 100% infill, print them with 99 walls (obviously that many walls won't actually print) - walls provide strength along the axis you need for the application of chute line anchor.

Chatgpt is truly incredible

Homemade sidewinders, I will be following

**The US Air Force is requesting your location**

In Germany for example, building an amateur rocket with any kind of control mechanism able to actively modify the flight path is illegal, and you'd get into very serious trouble for it (possibly jail time), because it's considered military weapons technology here. Kudos for including that section on laws and safety at the end of the video!

What if your way point is moving like real life scenarios? Love this video and also the safety part.

put a photovoltaic sensor on the rocket body and point a laser to a know position in space so that its pierce point is on the waypoint trajectory. reference the simulated reference(from flight controller) to the triggered results detected from the laser. collect enough resulting differences at different positions to calculate the range of certainty. awesome build.

CIA called, apparently some guy they named "ITAR" is searching for ya

Are you using Euler angles (rotated) or are you using quaternions to determine the current orientation of the rocket?

So guided missiles are okay to build, as long as they don't go kaboom! That rocket could be used for interception purposes

The rocket knows where it is, by knowing where it isn’t

Wow, nice

I was at Muncie,on 4th flight,I have your video on my ch. Cool stuff back in the day we couldn't have Guidance due to 911. I'd love to print your rocket for my fun.

You should setup an algorithm verification pipeline which tests the control sw in sim everytime you make a change. It is a bit more work in the beginning but will pay thicc dividends in the end. Cheers!

We have been making "video" guided rockets and drones for the past 9 years using both visual and IR cameras and combined the two recently. No gps or rf jammers to worry about. 😂😂 I'm currently working on a multiple spectrum system now that combines many different spectrums to make them even more fail safe. 😊

I can understand all the other "hobbyists" staying away from adding guidance to their rockets, but it's both amazing and scary to see somebody Just Do It™. PS: Now add optical targeting and open source it! 😁

With an active waypoint updating this could be a decent surface to air drone defense "rocket".

You have pressurized gas. Use it to generate the movement of the fins. This will reduce a whole power train to some valves.
