Project Nova is a cost-effective, electric-powered aerospace project designed to achieve vertical takeoff, computer-guided stability, and a propulsive landing using standard drone components.Operating within an updated budget of $161.50 to $191.50 NZD, the vehicle features an X-Fin layout with four 2207 brushless motors mounted on the fin tips for maximum aerodynamic stabilization. It is powered by a reliable, plug-and-play Lion Power 1500mAh 3S LiPo battery.The Mission ProfileTarget Altitude: The vehicle ascends vertically to exactly 100 meters.Real-Time Tracking: A built-in barometer on the F4 V3S Plus flight controller monitors the height.Active Payload Deployment: Upon hitting 100 meters, the flight controller triggers a bottom-mounted Servo Lock System (utilizing an SG90 9g micro-servo), opening a physical latch to deploy one CanSat payload cleanly into freefal where it will deploy its parachutes.
