A.P.O.G.E.E stands 1.2m tall, weighs 2.6kg and is powered by an I-class solid grain Cesaroni motor (Pro38 540I470-15A). Most of the airframe components were student built, featuring 3D printed nosecone and fins, as well as a transparent acrylic body tube section containing a GoPro recording video during the flight.
The apogee was 872 m and the rocket attained a maximum velocity of 156 m/s. A single-ejection dual deployment recovery was attempted using a Chute Release that kept the main chute unfurled until the descent altitude reached 300m, although flight data suggest the main chute deployed earlier, possibly due to the Chute Release being pulled away from the parachute by the shock chord. Recovery was however successful with no structural damage observed on A.P.O.G.E.E.
