Attitude Stability Unit (ASU): Initial flight


Member: Bob Feretich
Club: AeroPAC
Altitude: 4000'
Project Goal: First flight of a modular compact control unit that is aware of a rocket’s position and attitude, and makes flight adjustments to keep the rocket traveling straight up.

During this flight the control canards will be held at 0 degrees deflection, while 3-D gyroscopic and accelerometer sensor data is recorded every 1.2 milliseconds. The collected data will be used as simulation stimulus for the Navigation and Control programs.
