The iPhone Rocket: The Story (and Data) Of How An iPhone Hit 1300ft
Powered by a Aerotech G80-13 engine, the rocket reached some 440m (1312 feet) in altitude (or 200m in relative altitude) before heading back to the ground. Michael developed an iPhone application that constantly polled the iPhone’s GPS and accelerometers, logging them to a file, as well as sending GPS data over the Web so that the unit could be easily located if it became lost.
