The Flight Computer

V6.1 has not flown, because no Lynxrocket has. Flight Campaign Alpha is the first flight for the vehicle and for the board at the same time.

Validation

What the board has been through

  1. Q1 2026Complete

    Bench validation

    Hardware-in-the-loop testing, sensor fusion calibration and communication stress tests.

  2. Q2 2026Complete

    Integrated ground tests

    Run inside the Lynxrocket V5 airframe through recovery deployment drills and a full dress rehearsal.

  3. Q3–Q4 2026Next

    First flight

    Flight Campaign Alpha, on Lynxrocket V5. The first logged flight data the board has produced.
