The test-launch of a rocket that is fed back to the ground in the autonomous control.

The 28th, in Hiraodai of Kitakyushu Kokuraminami district, research group of Professor Yonemoto Kyushukogyodai of (aerospace engineering) and others were test-launch of a rocket that is fed back to the ground in the autonomous control.

Rocket is made of such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic, 1.7 m total length, about 50 kg weight. 50 At around 10:00 am, with a bang, and went up into the sky out of the karst plateau of Hiraodai.

After gliding over the sky, was scheduled to land at the destination by opening the parachute in the plan, but as a result you can not be autonomous control work, and decelerate by sending an emergency signal from the ground, and fell in about 30 seconds. Yonemoto The professor said, "to analyze the flight data obtained this time, you want to connect to the next flight experiment" with. By all means, please enough data analysis in order to lead to the next flight.


九州工業大の米本教授（航空宇宙工学）らの研究グループが２８日、北九州市小倉南区の平尾台で、自律制御で地上に帰還させるロケットの打ち上げ実験を行った。
　ロケットは炭素繊維強化プラスチックなどで作られ、全長１．７メートル、重さ約５０キロ。午前１０時５０分頃、大きな音をたてて、平尾台のカルスト台地の上空に打ち上がった。
　計画では上空を滑空した後、パラシュートを開いて目的地に着陸する予定だったが、うまく自律制御できず、地上から非常信号を送って減速させるなどした結果、約３０秒で落下した。米本教授は「今回取得した飛行データを解析し、次の飛行実験につなげたい」と話している。ぜひ、次の飛行につなげるべくデータ解析を十分にしてください。
