TROY and Hippie 01 launches by Club TRoll
TROY
The objective of TROY was to test a redundant bus and triple bus redundancy of timers with majority vote via the redundant bus. take-off detection by absolute majority. Unfortunately this function did not work causing the parachutes not to open.

Hippie01
High pressure water rocket designed for 40 bars, but micro leaks limited the pressure rise to 15 bars. This rocket is built on the basis of a 42 mm diameter FTC tube and reinforced with an epoxy coated carbon sheath.

Hippie 01 takeoff. The launch being done in haste (I will not be taken back), an unfortunate oversight generated the non-functioning of the electronics, thus causing the rocket to crash.

Hippie's electronics after the flight. On the right the servomotor has suffered a lot, while the altimeter (above the main board) is intact. The main board, which contains the voltage regulators and the microcomputer (an ATTiny45) is also damaged.

Water rocket animation
First, the children built their rocket under the watchful eye of the animators and parents (who also participated in the construction).
Then everyone, parents and children, gathered near the launch pad to launch them

Delta 1
|
Delta 1 in preparation. The objective was to test recovery by gliding flight. The rocket to deploy a delta wing at the apogee. A traditional parachute was planned for the last few meters in order to land the rocket more gently. |

Take off  |
The bet was successful, the wings spread well, the flight was a bit bumpy, but in the end the parachute opened.

Padmée and Yoda
This year's project is mainly focused on the Yoda cansat, which is due to participate in several Cansat competitions (France, Spain and USA). For the time being, it will be placed in the Padmée rocket to be ejected at its peak (around 900m). It will then have to try to return to its starting point thanks to its paraglider wing piloted by the Cansat itself according to its GPS coordinates and that of the target to be reached.
