NASA Student Launch

Knights Experimental Rocketry

Project Summary: 
NASA Student Launch Initiative was my first project with the UCF collegiate rocketry team, KXR. I became the telemetry lead due to my interest in electrical systems and software. 

Breadboard prototyping the flight computer. 

Sub-scale Flight: Soldering flight computer onto perf board, assembling the nosecone with avionics. 

Launching the Sub-scale rocket. Out in the launch field, establishing a connection with the onboard avionics.

Design of custom PCB for full-scale flight.

Fully assembled flight computer on a custom PCB. Ground station interconnect soldered on perf board. 

Loading software onto flight computer

Designed a custom ogive nosecone to be made out of fiberglass, machining the nose tip out of ​aluminium. 

Sub-system leads presenting to NASA advisory board for the Critical Design Review.
