Amateur Rocketry Peregrine CO2 ejection dual deploy Telemega electronics
First test of the installed ejection system. Both the Altus Metrum Telemega and the dual deploy Tinder Rocketry Peregrine CO2 ejection system are mounted in the nosecone. The body tube portion (which is the fuselage top half) has a Magma Mountain Rocketry one-way baffle vent valve to contain pressurization to the upper 14 inches of the forward body tube (allows for smaller charges as the gas doesn't need to pressurize the entire length of the fuselage.) As set up in this rocket, the Ariel: Prometheus Class (Magma Mountain Rocketry) the CO2 ejects the nosecone and recovery package which deploys the drogue chute. A Jolly Logic Chute Release deploys the main at lower altitudes. This test fire used the Telemega's remote test fire function to ignite the Peregrine. This was a very non-conventional and not-approved-for-flight test-setup in that the igniters were Estes Starters with a 9vdc battery. The circuit was completed by the Telemega which has it's own LiPO 1cell bettery. I suspect the slow action of the Starters contributed to the ignition delay. No ematches were available for this test, hence the starters. The purpose for the dual deploy system in a single deploy system is simply redundancy (at least in the ejection charge context.) This Ariel: Prometheus Class build is a test-bed for a variety of lightweight and modular build techniques.
