The unloaded mass of the system is 17.1 lbs and 27.8 lbs loaded, using a CTI M1230 motor. Both the forward and aft airframes contain an avionics bay with dual altimeters that will control the separation and reefing charges, executed by redundant cable cutters. The forward airframe will additionally contain the avionics necessary for the PID controller including a Raspberry Pi B+, a Teensy 3.2, 9-DOF Absolute Orientation Sensors from Adafruit, a Big Red Bee GPS Radio, servos to control the fins, and several cameras. The aft airframe will contain an additional GPS radio using a different frequency to ensure recovery of the booster section.

The unloaded mass of the system is 12.9 lbs and 25.5 lbs loaded, using a Cesaroni Pro75 L395. The center of gravity is at 52.19”, and the center of pressure is at 61.45”, giving us a stability of 2.55 cal.
