This paper presents the experiment applying a cube type Gyroscope-free inersial measurement unit (GF-IMU) on the LAPANs RUM rockets. GF-IMU is a low-cost solution to perform measurement of both translational and rotational acceleration of a flight. This experiment will be a milestone on expanding the use of GF-IMU.
