Abstract
For high-altitude attempts within the high-powered rocketry community, many factors in flight reduce the apogee. Chief among these is a miss-aligned flight path. A flight path can be altered through weathervaning or coning. The system developed in this paper helps to reduce the effect of weathervaning through flight path correction and that of coning by regulating the roll rate.
