Ares Rocket

DESCRIPTION

Dear PCBway sponsor,

My name is Arnau Reyes, and I'm currently studying Aerospace Engineering in UPC ESEIAAT, in Terrassa (a city near Barcelona). A part from studying the degree, I'm currently a member of UPC Space Program, which is an association of students that came together two years ago to create projects related to space an aviation. 

I'm the coordinator of electronics from the rockets mission, the ARES. The main goal to achieve with this project is to build a supersonic rocket of two stages that can carry a payload to do experimental measurements in sonic speed.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

One of the most important parts of this project is the electronics, as it has to control all the stages of the rocket (ignition of the engines, parachute deployment, ...), measure the height and speed and it includes a gps with an antenna to communicate the position so that we can locate the rocket once it lands. 

We are currently developing the electronics, and we want to do some testing with the pcb before building the definitive one, so that's why we are contacting you. This pcb will include an arduino nano, a barometer and an accelerometer (to measure height and acceleration) and a micro SD to save all data obtained by those sensors. 

We have already launched the first model of the rocket in which we tested some systems, but they need to be corrected before launching the following one, and that's what we want to achieve with this board. I'll attach some photos below.

If you want to contact us, write an e-mail to this direction: arnau.reyesfernandez@gmail.com

Thanks for your attention, we're looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Arnau
