Within the framework of a collective technical project for the creation of a small-lift class launch vehicle, this paper discusses the development of a model rocket design with an automatic control system designed to test active stabilization and orientation systems of the rocket in the guidance plane on the post-boost and boost-phase trajectory. The paper introduces several variants of the rocket layout and its design, presents the results of design and manufacture. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the issues of designing the orientation and stabilization system of a model rocket. Within the study, we carried out a preliminary strength calculation of the design of the rocket controls, analyzed the design and ergonomics of the stabilizers. The study shows that the rocket made complies with the technical requirements specified in the technical task for it, and stresses the prospects of using small-lift launch vehicles for launching small spacecraft.
