BPS.shortsRisky Batman propellant in an RCS experimental single use case - propellant had much finer 90 micron AP particle sizes than anticipated, over-pressurized the case, and a composite layer sheered off at the forward closure. I was pretty sure the case would pop radially so I dug a hole in the ground at FAR instead of putting it on a test stand. Fun reminder of the inherent danger with this stuff!

Cameras are GoPro HERO10 Bones deconstructed and jammed into the 54mm airframe. All four fins have servos embedded inside with small trailing edge control tabs. Two of the four fins are responsible for the roll axis, which yielded solid results. All four tabs also aim to control pitch and yaw, which did not work on this flight. Data displayed via the Telemetry Overlay app. More Details: youtu.be/6eH-t6LYYkk?si=PIdOPFU4uGrBpTkL And also here: youtu.be/MfAcMJbflCY?si=53NgdWDavD29wVzN

That helped keep the pressure low enough for this motor to avoid popping the case, though it leads to a nasty non-axial exhaust plume, and definitely wouldn't work well for a flying rocket.
