Field notes
The page identifies Falcon 4 as an EE capstone and lays out six electrical subsystems alongside the mechanical team’s motor, airframe, and fins. It lists a Teensy 4.1 flight computer, MS5611 barometer, BMI088 inertial sensor, and NEO-M9N GPS. The displayed mission simulation is explicitly labeled explanatory, with a modeled roughly 4 km flight; the supplied extract does not verify real-flight results.
