Avionics

The Avionics subteam designs the critical flight electronics which include providing power to electrical devices in the rocket, sending important flight data obtained from different sensors on the rocket to people on the ground, and ensuring that the recovery and separation events happen at the right altitude. The Avionics subteam is essential to ensure a nominal flight and recovery.
