DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Avionics bay is equipped with a BMP 280 barometric sensor for altitude data and an MPU 6050 to sense acceleration and angular velocity. All the electronics is soldered directly to a perforated board which ensures maximum strength at high velocities
With RasAero we can get precise data about the drag coefficient of the rocket at various speeds, to estimate the load on the control surfaces and on the nose cone.
The MPU 6050 is the arduino sensor used to deploy the parachute. An ' if ' clause is set up to open the recovery system when the gravitational acceleration vector is projected on the X or Y axis for the most part.
With the help of Openrocket we can make a precise simulation based on the aerodynamics of the rocket. In every simulation is possible to change the solid rocket motor as preferred.
Using an HX711 amplifier module it is possible to create a test stand for our motors. This will be useful in the future to determine the total impulse of the motor and therefore the maximum altitude of the rocket
