There was a large dropout period between samples 2940000 and 3680000, presumably due to the extreme altitude. Descent began somewhere around sample 3250000 as estimated by curve-fitting the ascent and descent. Estimated maximum altitude is ~20000 m. Landing occurred approximately at sample 5520000. | There was a large dropout period between samples 2940000 and 3680000, presumably due to the extreme altitude.

Acceleration starts out at 10 m | Acceleration starts out at 10 m/s due to gravity. Jerk begins at sample 400000 due to payload handling, lining up nicely with the launch at 470000 shown by GPS. The SV continued to ascend until sample 3244710, which appears to indicate a pop. After this sample, the acceleration trends less than 10m/s and slowing, indicating a controlled fall. At sample 5460000, the sensor becomes inverted, as the impact of landing flips the payload (or at least the phone). This corresponds closely with the GPS recorded SV landing at sample 5520000. There was a very large spike at 6280000, from unknown causes. Finally, the payload was righted at 9300000. | ||
