First flight of Starseek's Telem rocket. 3D printed from PLA, this is our first rocket with a small dedicated avionics bay - a key part to reaching the goal of getting real-time telemetry to a groundstation from a rocket. For this flight we'll just use this bay to house a Mercury altimeter, still a commercial off-the-shelf altimeter and not capable of transmitting real-time telemetry to the GS, but an upgrade from the Nano used on the earlier Origin flights and will provide more detailed, more accurate telemetry. Telem is significantly heavier than Origin, more robust and uses a 6mm launch rail vs a 3mm one. Internally, Telem features segregated areas to house the parachute and shockcord - preventing entanglement upon deployment. Telem also has hot swappable motor mounts - enabling rapid re-use on the unlikely off-chance the rocket lands in one piece. Telem is designed to be launched with B class motors and above, requiring a minimum of 5N/s of impulse. We'll be launching with a B4-4 (5N/s) and will need a local wind speed below 17.9mph for a go on launch.
