Rocketry projects

For the past 2 years I have competed in the American Rocketry Challenge. Throughout the time I have made numerous rockets to achieve the altitude specified by the competition year. To reduce launches and costs I have designed simulink models to predict rocket behaviors.

Rocket Simulink Models

This section showcases physics-based simulations in Simulink used to model and improve my model rockets. These include a descent-stage simulation for a landing rocket and a full trajectory simulator built for the American Rocketry Challenge. Both models have helped reduce physical testing, lower costs, and guide design choices for real launches.

Building Rockets

This section showcases how I design, build, and test model rockets from the ground up. Each build is part of an iterative process focused on improving performance, stability, and consistency, often built for competitive challenges like the American Rocketry Challenge. I use a combination of CAD, simulations, and flight data analysis to create each version.

Custom Rocket PCB

This section showcases my custom-designed PCB developed to control thrust vectoring in a model rocket. The board integrates multiple sensors, servo connectors, PID control loops, and embedded logic for precise and autonomous flight control. This project combines hardware design and programming to create a flight control system for advanced rocketry applications.
