About
The Cat rocket is robust little rocket designed to withstand many launches by using a strong recycled tinfoil body tube. Cat has a 3D printed Nose Cone and FinCan and kevlar shock cord which also acts as wadding to protect the small parachute recovery system. Using a flight logger, the flight data can be downloaded and analysed to further improve the accuracy of the simulations.
