Rocket Telemetry – Software and Function Design

Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary design for the telemetry package software for Morgan’s rocket project. This software will capture and transmit data from accelerometers and gyroscopes to track the trajectory of the rocket after launch. The paper will focus on the software in the design and a simulation of the module to track trajectory. This paper is in conjunction with the “Physical and Function Design” paper as our undergraduate students worked together on the telemetry package. Morgan State has received a $1.6 million aerospace grant that will allow the school to complete a liquid-fuel rocketry lab and to recruit and hire a faculty aerospace leader to create a world-class program in liquid fuel. The school is looking to build and launch a liquid fuel rocket than can reach 150,000 feet by 2022.
