A terrestrial micro decelerator vehicle using servo-actuated edge flaps for attitude and velocity control is proposed. The concept is comprised of miniature servomotors, Pixracer autopilot, Raspberry Pi, and 3D printed components. Modeling and control is accomplished with multisine-based system identification. Drop testing was conducted and results from the modeling are provided.
