Relay - TVC Static Fire - Mount Revision A (2017-01-08)
Actuating ±6.6 degrees on each axis, this thrust vectoring mount slightly underperforms in expected accuracy of 0.3 degrees. A second test with higher power servos will serve to qualify this ... [View]

Thrust Vector Control - Series A Hold Down (2017-06-01)
This test was not intended to(and does not) feature a fully stable vehicle or tuning. The purpose of Series A is to gather high resolution data from the flight computer in order to build an accurate ... [View]
Thrust Vector Control - Series B Hold Down (2017-06-29)
After building a ground-up simulation of the vehicle's behavior under thrust, I re-tuned the stability algorithm to the inertia I calculated from the results of a bifilar pendulum test. The ... [View]
Thrust Vector Control - Series C Hold Down (2017-06-29)
Once the error in the inertia calculation of the Series B Hold Down was found, a second bifilar pendulum test was conducted with newly added landing legs and grid fins to obtain an updated ... [View]
Thrust Vector Control - Series D Hold Down (2017-08-01)
The test failed because of a jam in the control loop, ultimately caused by the barometer. The vehicle tuning was technically correct, though it obviously appears otherwise. The error is fascinating, ... [View]
Thrust Vector Control - Series E Hold Down (2017-08-01)
The test held the vehicle upright for several seconds, then shifted the set-point on the X and Y axes to -7 degrees, as a step response test. Response was acceptable, though somewhat poor, and can ... [View]
Thrust Vector Control - Series F Hold Down (2017-10-02)
Ran a static fire after an overhaul of Signal's stability software. Modifications focused on ensuring robust control loop times, which were the primary culprit of the overcorrection seen in previous ... [View]
