Mission Overview Rocket. Sat VII shall design an attitude determination system for future Rocket. Sat-C missions Background: Rocket. Sat VI • • Mission required angle of attack of rocket to properly process science data Attitude determination system was not successful • Algorithm chosen required more precise sensors to determine its position in flight Rock. Sat-C 2011 Final Presentation 3
Design Overview Integrated Stack Main Board contains gyroscopes and magnetometer Rock. Sat-C 2011 Final Presentation Optics Board CMOS sensors to act as sun sensors 4
Expected Results • Determine the attitude of the rocket during the ascending portion of flight – Need magnetometer data and at least one picture of the sun • Have a system that can be easily recreated for future Rocket. Sat projects to use Rock. Sat-C 2011 Final Presentation 5
Lessons Learned • Don’t overcomplicate your design, but sometime complex systems are needed to meet the requirements • Always allow more time to complete certain tasks than you believe • Follow the schedule as much as possible Rock. Sat-C 2011 Final Presentation 6
