1. Launch
2. Powered Flight
3. Coasting
4. Recovery
For the Ariane 6 Model rocket the cargo bay shall be redesigned so that it can hold miniature satellites. The goal is to deploy the satellite at a predefined height between phases 3 and 4 and let it be recovered with its own parachute or gliding system. The rocket will then deploy its own parachute and will be recovered separately.
# Project Tasks
The redesign of the model rocket will have the following sub tasks:
1. redesign of rocket electronics (Rocket PCB)
2. mechanical redesign of cargo section with satellite deployment (A6M3C)
3. satellite prototype for proof of concept (dummy satellite with recovery)
# Student skills
- embedded electronics
- embedded software
- mechanical design
# Group size
Ideally this will be done in a group of 3 students
