Extremely Lucky (so far)
Originally, I had designed this rocket just to mess around in OpenRocket, but as I'm starting to gain more experience in HPR, its becoming more and more enticing.
I plan to gain experience with High-Power staging through flying a stack of two of my already existing rockets, before I even start putting money into this build. What is the largest hurdle I'd run into? Aerodynamic Heating? Fin Flutter? Engine Ignition at High Altitude? Is there anything else I'm missing?
Here's a very barebones design, notably missing almost any mass components. My plan, currently, is to use a single deployment event in the booster and a Single-Sep DD setup in the sustainer. Getting the motors isn't too much of a concern for me, as my school has these two specific motors in its possession already, as well as all casing hardware.
I plan to put this design into RASAero to get better simulation data, due to the supersonic velocities.
Realistically, even if I do end up building this, I only have one shot at sending this thing up, so I want to be able to get as much feedback as possible before I get in too deep.
