Joining YJSP Avionics — Hardware in the Loop

·318 words·2 mins
I recently joined the Yellow Jacket Space Program (YJSP) — Georgia Tech’s student-run rocketry organization working toward launching a liquid-fueled sounding rocket past the Kármán Line. What is YJSP Avionics? # The Avionics team is responsible for all electronics hardware and software aboard YJSP’s vehicles. The team designs, implements, and tests a stack of custom PCBs including the Flight Computer, Engine Controller, Data Acquisition, Flight Sensors, RF telemetry, and Battery Management System. Beyond flight-critical systems, Avionics also plays a key role in integration and testing of the vehicle and its subsystems.
