The electronics department
The electronics department is the one responsible for the systems running our rockets. This goes from the flight computers to the igniters and soldering the smallest chips to making the recovery trackers. We are the ones responsible of making sure all systems go on cue, like ignition and separation events. And for this our team mostly works with components and programs from external suppliers, like our sponsors. But, we are also working on creating our very own AQUILO flight computer. Which we will be developing over the coming years.
The electronics department consists, as every department, of a department head, members and advisors. The current department is shown below. They deal with a workload that both consist of practical and theoretical parts. The theoretical part being the research for the right components and the programming of them. The practical part comes down to the assembling, calibration and testing of these components making sure they are ready to play their part.
Head of the department
Hello there!
My name is Soraya and I am a second-year student of Aeronautical Engineering in Delft. I am from Asturias, Spain and I took over Óscar’s position into the role of Head of the Electronics Department.
Now, I get to focus on enhancing our electronics systems while diving deeper into aerospace technology, a field I am very passionate about. We have some big challenges ahead, including preparing for EuRoC and developing POLARIS, our self-developed flight computer, with a focus on improving rocket-to-ground communication.
