ESRA Avioncs

A sub-team of three people in charge of providing electrical power, GPS tracking, Altitude sensing, and parachute ejection timing for the Experimental Sounding Rocketry Association with OSU AIAA. The goal for ESRA was to build and launch a rocket 30,000 feet at a competition during the spring term for the Spaceport Cup competition down in New Mexico. The team with the highest altitude and successful delivery of a payload wins the competition. However, a recent update notified us that the competition was canceled due to Covid concerns. This was an all ECE subteam addition to the existing Aeronautical Engineering group for the Mechanical Engineering capstone students. This best simulates real-world engineering groups that have different branches of engineering disciplines working to complete one goal. Our personal team goal was to help develop an avionics system viable enough to track important data (altitude, tilt, landing protocols, etc.) and that was compact enough to allow other rocket systems to not be hindered by the small space within the rocket.
