Avionics Bay and Electronics

The page you are looking at right now is just a temporary collage of drawings that depict the arrangement of the avionics in the sustainer payload bay. We forgot to take any pictures of the first flight configuration, which was a single G-Wiz LC Deluxe flight computer both in the sustainer and in the booster.

The avionics for the second flight was more advanced and also more reliable. The booster once again had a single G-Wiz LC Deluxe in the booster avionics bay. The ejection backup was the 9 second delay in the KBA L1000 motor. (the booster will only fly to about 2000 feet, so it will not use dual staged parachute deployment).

The sustainer used a G-Wiz MC Flight Computer for primary control of sustainer motor ignition, drogue chute deployment, and main chute deployment. A Missile Works Wireless Remote Controller (WRC2) provided backup functionality for sustainer motor ignition and main parachute deployment. The drogue chute ejection backup was the 8 second delay in the AT J135 motor.
