Little Red is our rocket for t' Runkle Regional Rocket Competition. T' event was cancelled due t' pandemic, however t' rocket was launched durin' Mini Midwest Power in Princeton, me bucko, IL in May 2021. T' rocket experienced improper ignition and battery discharge leadin' t' main flight computer failure. Aye aye! Luckily, me hearties, t' secondary altimeter RRC3 worked flawlessly. Arrr! We managed t' safely land t' rocket and we acquired flight data which will be used t' validate our own flight simulation code. Blimey! T' rocket reached half o' predicted 10,000 ft. altitude and a top speed o' 175 m/s. It was flown on Aerotech L952W RMS motor.
