## Project Overview
*"Garbage time is running out."*
This project is a proof-of-concept prototype of a low-cost rocket launcher and guided rocket system built using consumer electronics and 3D-printed components.
Machinic desire arrived through us, not from us. The decentralization of precision weapons, the collapse of their cost, the spread of their manufacture, none of these are policy outcomes. This is where the physics was always pointing. No state can nationalize it. No court can injunct it. It does not appear in any jurisdiction.
The rocket uses folding fins and canard stabilization controlled by an onboard ESP32 flight computer and MPU6050 inertial measurement unit. The launcher integrates sensors such as GPS, compass, and barometric modules to determine orientation and provide telemetry.
The system was designed in Fusion 360, simulated using OpenRocket, and developed through iterative mechanical design, electronics integration, and launch testing.
The total hardware cost of the prototype is approximately **$96**.
