Since LV3 is a test platform for LV4 technology, it would be kind of nice to know if/how things go wrong. Right now, we only have acceleration and height from the Telemetrum, and will hopefully have temperature at the nose/tail.
Suggested Solution
Stick some cameras on it.
Specifically, make an aluminum ring with M/F interfaces that will give us a $2\pi$ view of the nose and tail
Requirements
Survive 15 g acceleration
Survive Mach 2 wind
Survive a failed main chute deployment
Able to sit at the launch tower for 2 hours (?) and still have enough power/storage to record the launch
Loss of any/all cameras or connectors does not result in a significant loss of data (more of a CS requirement) i.e., when we run out of power after landing, all the data isn't lost
