This was the maiden flight of Affinity. The Affinity Project was developed under DHB Aerospace.
Affinity flew an Eggtimer Quantum as its main computer and an Eggtimer Quark as the backup computer. Each computer was completely isolated and controlled a Drogue and a Main Parachute charge since Affinity utilizes a Dual Deployment Recovery System.
Affinity also captured onboard flight footage using an Estes Astrocam which was housed with a custom 3D-printed mount which was bolted to the side of the rocket.
