Hopportunity is a landing research vehicle for making landers capable of landing on the surface of Pluto. This project's purpose was to get practical knowledge working with cascading control laws using Simulink for vertically landing vehicles. The design was intended to be a budget-friendly and novel use of pneumatic power. 

As the project has progressed, and the learning fruitful, it has taken on a more personality with the looming water rocket style double water-bottle pneumatic bottle on top of it.

Specifications:

• Flight Time: 5 seconds

• "Anti-gravity": 2 AeroTech 24mm E6-RCT Glider Motors.

• Control Thrusters: 3 Custom Pneumatic Thrusters (Max thrust ~0.35N).

• Testing Status: On-pause - in storage
