Avionics

Mission Statement

The mission is to create a reliable avionics system capable of verifying that a rocket has reached space while building a supportive community which develops us as engineers.

Mission Details

The CU Sounding Rocket Lab Avionics Team is responsible for the design, test, and integration of a flight computer for Guidance, Navigation, and Control as well as Data Acquisition and Processing of a Sounding Rocket. Some of the core areas we focus on are:

• RF ( Uplink / Downlink )
• State Estimation Algorithms ( i.e. Kalman Filter )
• Embedded Systems
• PCB Design/Assembly
• Communication Protocols ( i.e. I2C, SPI, CANBUS )
• Real-Time Operating Systems
• Flight Software ( i.e. core Flight System (cFS) )
• and Data Science
