Nova Labs HARP Rockets
thingiverse
This set of files is part of the Nova Labs High Altitude Rocket Project (HARP), which aims to launch a low orbital altitude rocket with an onboard FPV video and autonomous navigation back to the launch site, all while capturing comprehensive video footage throughout the flight along with essential telemetry data. To achieve this goal, we eagerly seek the valuable support from NARHAMS and other partners, fully expecting it after making formal requests for assistance. In order to gauge performance accurately, we intend to thoroughly test each version of HARP upon visiting NASA Goddard, systematically scaling up as needed. Update: Some engaging modifications have been added in scaled-up fin cans. Update 8/27/14: A notable series of 3D models were published by NASA featuring the Jupiter C. By importing it and making several tweaks, I successfully transformed it into a functional model rocket suitable for flight testing. The ultimate goal is to test if the lower portion can withstand flight as designed and potentially scale it up further to house four engines, functioning both as Stage 1 and Stage 2 of HARP. While not perfect, this tinkered version definitely needs some cleaning up but that's what experimentation and refinement are all about. Update: It's worth noting that rockets performed successfully across the board, with HARP 3 being the exception - it turned out too heavy for its launch parameters. As an added observation, The Jupiter C convincingly necessitates a higher-end C class engine while HARP 1 easily managed to soar up to a considerable height of around 700ft powered by a trusty C6-5 motor.
