Our associates Patrik Lantz has taken on the huge task of programming the rocket's three main control boards. Many thanks to you.
There is lot of things that is happening now in SRRG, so we apologize that we have not updated the blog in a while.
We have completed most of the "interior" for the rocket, and for the moment we developing the electronics which will in future become the guidance and control system. June will be an exciting month for the SRRG team.
In mid-June we will conduct a high altitude weather balloon test with the tracking system to calibrate the sensors, so that we do not get inaccurate data when used in the rocket.
