Basics: Avionics Sub-systems
INTRODUCTION TO ROCKET SCIENCE Partitions of rocket w.r.t. mass: Ms + Mp + Md AVIONICS SUB-SYSTEMS These are the electronic systems which are integrated in the recovery/payload part of rocket which work together to fulfil the task. They are: (1) Avionics Bay (2) GPS Bay (3) Ignition Box (4) Ground station 1. AVIONICS BAY Avionics bay consists of four sub-systems: * Flight computer - The main function of flight computer is to read data from sensors like Barometer, Accelerometer etc. * Memory -They are of 2 types: Flash and SD card * Apogee -It helps in triggering the drogue parachute * Main parachute - This waits for the correct time for the drogue parachute to open DIGITAL COMPUTERS Digital computers are also known as personal computers. They are manufactured to process data in numerical form. The circuits in digital computers performs mathematical operations which are expressed in binary digits. They can also store results in the form of data for further ...
