Electronics

We build the rocket's nervous system - the avionics, flight computer and
telemetry that sense, decide and report. If the rocket can think, talk and stay
in control, that's us.

“Fix your little problem and light this candle.”

Alan Shepard

PHASE 01

Avionics & circuitry

We design and integrate the electrical systems that power
the rocket's avionics, telemetry and communications - the
circuitry behind sensor data collection, GPS tracking and
in-flight adjustments. Every board has to be lightweight, durable
and able to keep working through the extreme temperatures
and vibrations of flight, so the rocket never loses communication
or control.

PHASE 02

The flight computer

At the centre sits the flight computer - the brain of the
rocket. It reads the sensors and executes commands in real
time, from firing the propulsion system to triggering stage
separation. We make it reliable and responsive through
extensive simulation and bench testing, and we design
redundancy in, so the mission carries on even when
something unexpected happens.

PHASE 03

Telemetry & data

During flight our telemetry streams the rocket's performance
to the ground station in real time - trajectory, speed and
every critical metric. After launch we dig into that data to
judge how the mission went and find what to improve. That
feedback loop is what keeps each design sharper than the
last.

embedded code and the moment a flight computer first
comes alive on the bench.
