This project is a Flight Accelerometer Switch (FAS) that will act as the payload of an EggTosser rocket. The FAS operates as a mechanically actuated switch that, upon experiencing a specified acceleration, records flight data onto an on-board SD card. The FAS must be roughly the size and weight of a chicken egg to fit inside the nose cone.
