The vehicle
Meet Pioneer
Our first high-power rocket. 2.5 m tall, 12.6 kg loaded, and built to reach about 2.8 km on a Cesaroni L1355-P.
We'll be upfront about what's ours. The airframe is a Wildman Extreme fibreglass kit, and recovery runs on off-the-shelf EasyMini altimeters with Featherweight GPS. We assembled, wired and integrated all of it.

2.8 km
How high Pioneer is built to go. That's roughly five CN Towers stacked on top of each other.
