The project
I am developing a thrust-vector-controlled rocket that connects a custom gimbal with onboard sensors and servo control. The project brings together the mechanical and electrical systems with software that processes gyroscopic data.
ROCKETRY / CONTROLS
Thrust vector control
Bringing mechanical design, onboard electronics, and control software together in a self-stabilizing rocket.
My contributions
01
Mechanical design
Developed the thrust-vector-control gimbal in SOLIDWORKS and used OpenRocket to simulate the rocket’s flight.
02
Electronics integration
Designed and assembled the electrical circuitry, including soldering and integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and servos.
03
Control software
Created C++ control software to process gyroscopic data and command the servos for self-stabilization.

STATUS & EVIDENCE
This is an ongoing development project. The current work spans gimbal design, circuitry, and control software; flight-test performance is not yet documented in this portfolio.
