AUTONOMOUS LANDING SYSTEM FOR MODEL ROCKETS
HOW IT WORKS
FLIGHT COMPUTER-GUIDED
A fully custom-designed printed circuit board (PCB) built for precision rocket landing. This PCB integrates advanced sensors, a powerful microcontroller, and robust flight algorithms to control the rocket’s descent and achieve a safe, propulsive landing. It ensures real-time data processing and control, making it the critical hardware for guided landings.
THRUST-VECTORING
A precision thrust-vectoring system that dynamically adjusts the rocket’s engine direction to maintain stability and control during flight. This technology enables real-time course corrections, allowing for accurate navigation and smooth landings, even under challenging conditions.
