Ground stitch
The outward stitch discards inward-looking body pixels. That is why the cylinder disappears.

Settings Camera geometry & timing
Edits switch to the source model. They do not change the recorded downlink. Lens projection is nominal; measured calibration is still needed.
Model & link assumptions ¹ Margin shown after a 10 dB assumed reserve
Source sampling
Lens blur, sensor noise and vibration are not calibrated. Recorded clips assume ideal attitude and camera timing.
Stitching selects directions from two camera positions. Nearby hardware can jump or ghost at the seam. Panning cannot reveal hidden surfaces.
Downlink & playback
Playback diagnostics appear while playing.
30 captured frames per second. No simulated RF packet loss.
The 10 dB reserve is a design allowance for fading and unmeasured losses, not a measured requirement. Fixed losses are counted separately.
Flight & geometry
Saved OpenRocket M2400T flight: 3,191 m apogee. A three-second pad hold precedes ignition.
The exterior uses the supplied OpenRocket dimensions. Camera mounts, launch rail, iris placement and recovery motion are provisional. The sequence ends under drogue.
The desert terrain is procedural, not a model of the launch site. Encoding is real; optics, flight and radio performance remain estimates.
