Ger 2017
Ger camp is located near Tarbes.
Iris project of CLES-FACIL
The purpose of this project was to test a rotating servo camera to counterbalance the rocket's rotation.

On the launch pad, in the rain, preparation of the rocket.

Ready for ramping up

The camera
|
The rocket is on the ramp, the timeline is unrolling
|
|
The ramp is erected
|
Waiting for take off (which I missed)
|
|
Unfortunately the parachute was torched and the return to earth was a bit brutal
|
What remains of the equipment part :-(
|
|
The camera box and the camera itself were left intact, which made it possible to extract the video below.
|
On the other hand, the electronic cards suffered.

Eybus2 project of the TRoll
This mini rocket project embeds a recovery system in 2 stages: a first slowing parachute up to 100 m from the ground then opening of a second parachute for a smooth landing. In addition, an inertial unit makes it possible to determine the real trajectory. The data entered is recorded on board in an NVRAM.

Eybus 2 in full. Below the cone the "nose" which contains the mirror allowing the camera to film downwards.
|
The same with the two parachutes not yet folded and stored in their location. Note that the cone is not the final one, the one in the photo is a little too big and crooked :-)

Ramp up
|
Il ne reste plus qu'à la faire glisser jusqu'en bas
|
|
Well, the ramp is a bit excessive for Eybus2, but it is intended for much larger rockets (like Iris)
|
Back, Eybus 2 is impeccable

And of course, always the water rockets
|
This year it was really water rockets, underwater
|
Despite everything, during the clearings, a few courageous ones practiced it |
