Project
In Progress
A look at projects I am currently working on or plan to complete in the future.
Canard Control
This project further explores active control in model rocketry. It focuses on controlling the attitudeand trajectory of a model rocket using rotating canards. The project involves designing the housing for the canard controls, servo mounts, CFD simulations, control theory, electronics and programming.
Multi-Vector
Multi-vector thrust vectoring control is a further exploration of the TVC rocket. This project expands on the TVC system by implementing three separate thrust vectoring systems on a single rocket. This allows for greater control, with roll control of the rocket, as well as some throttling capabilities. This project involves complex control theory, CAD design for motor and TVC housings, and electronics and programming for the control system.
Two Stage
Two-stage model rocket that uses two separate motors, one firing after the other burns out. This will test manufacturing and assembly techniques, as well as the ability to light a motor mid-flight.
L3 Rocket
This is a future project to develop a Level 3 high-power rocket, and get L3 certified. This will focus on advanced manufacturing techniques, documentation, and research. This project will be another step toward my long-term goal of developing a rocket capable of reaching space.
