Avionics

Our mission is to push SRL's boundaries by creating novel electronics and avionics solutions. We take ambitious projects head on, growing our capabilities as engineers in the process. We work deeply with all aspects of aerospace electronics, including complex RF systems, FPGA development, custom PCB design, state estimation, control systems, and more.

Mission Details

Phoenix
Mamba III and Spaceshot will require highly functional and reliable avionics for data acquisition, telemetry downlink, and recovery deployment. Phoenix is our solution.

Features:

  • Sensor suite (6-DOF IMU, High-G Accel, Barometric Altimeter, GPS)

  • Extended Kalman Filter for autonomous state detection

  • Live telemetry downlink (>80km estimated range)

  • Pyro channels to support dual deployment

WALRUS (Wireless Array for Long Range Uninterrupted Streaming)
Seeing is believing, and we take this to the extreme. Fully developed, WALRUS will be our custom system to stream live video from SRL's rockets, up to the edge of space.

Features currently in development:

  • 2 video channels streaming live video at up to 1080p

  • Rocket-tracking groundstation dish antenna

  • Increased downlink range through use of phased array antennas

More projects coming soon!
