Flight Logic

The flight program is structured as a state machine with the following states: adopted from BPS space

State	Description	Waiting for event
0	Pre-Flight Ground	20m Above Ground Level
1	Powered Flight	accelerationZ <=2m/s2 for 0.1s
2	Coasting	velecity less than zero to detect apogee
3	Ballistic Descent	20m displacement below apogee to deploy parachute
4	Chute Descent	< 20m Above Ground
5	Post-flight Ground	No more events
