After a weeks of working on a program to land a rocket booster accurately we now are analyzing the last bits of information to complete the landing burn program. After that we will make a boost back plan hoping to touchdown on LZ-2.

Me and math are not cooperating very well. This could take longer than expected.

@JSO18 I almost got it! Just some unexpected physics that I had to overcome. Hoping to complete today. I want it to be reliable. I think it has something to do with what the true TWR. It would include things like drag.

@Tweedle_Aerospace I hope it works out! The only advice I have is to keep changing little things and try again to try to find what is wrong. Sometimes if you change something that you know should make something different happen with the flight, and the flight does not go differently, you know you should be looking somewhere else for the problem. That was how I did my troubleshooting on my Sparrow 1 and 2.

@iSpace thanks! I am having problems because I am using a real formula. It only calculates the burn altitude and time from if you could instantly go full power. So I had to add in a calculator that knows when to start powering up. The problem with it is that it increases with height and doesn’t go by proportions or any equation that I can figure out.

@Tweedle_Aerospace eh, math is overrated anyway. Lol
