Introduction
The RESIN-4K rocket was developed as a platform for testing onboard electronics. The onboard computer features a Wi-Fi module that enables wireless communication between the launch control station and the rocket. The ignition signal is transmitted remotely to the onboard computer, allowing for fully autonomous launch sequencing. The rocket is powered by the MUTANT 3 solid rocket motor. The recovery system is based on a single parachute deployed using a piston ejection mechanism. The decision algorithm relies on detecting changes in atmospheric pressure. For easier post-flight retrieval, the rocket features an integrated GPS-GSM tracking system.

Flight Test
RESIN-4K was launched in a controlled test environment to evaluate its performance. The rocket successfully achieved its expected flight parameters, and the recovery system was deployed as planned.
The figure below presents the altitude data recorded during the flight. The stable descent phase can be observed at approximately 5 m/s, aligning with the expected parachute performance.
