Departments
The Structural subteam is responsible for the overall design and construction of the rocket, as well as the launch rails. It is actively involved in the manufacturing of the rocket, performing machining of metallic and composite materials. It also deals with the dynamic analysis of the rocket in collaboration with the Aerodynamics subteam.
Useful skills: 3D Design (Solidworks, Fusion 360) , FEA simulations (ANSYS Workbench), Matlab, Python, C++
The Aerodynamics subteam is responsible for modeling aerodynamic forces and analyzing the flows produced by the rocket, utilizing software for CFD simulations, as well as conducting wind tunnel tests. It also deals with the dynamic study of the rocket and collaborates with the Structural subteam on its response to excitations. The Aerodynamics team participates in determining the optimal geometry for the airframe, fins, and nose cone of the rocket.
Useful skills: CFD Simulations (ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM), Matlab, Python, C++
The Recovery subteam is responsible for the design, production, and testing of all systems that ensure the safe landing of all equipment launched. Key objectives include producing the drogue and main parachutes, and developing ejection mechanisms.
Useful skills: 3D Design (Solidworks, Fusion 360) , FEA simulations (ANSYS Workbench), Matlab, Python, C++
The Avionics subteam handles the design, implementation, and testing of the rocket’s control algorithms and electronic systems. This includes guidance and navigation systems, telemetry, communication, and sensor integration. It develops software, hardware, and PCB systems, often involving work with microcontrollers, telemetry transmission, and sensor management.
Useful skills: C, C++, Python, Microcontrollers, Schematic Design, PCB systems, telemetry and communications
The Air Brakes subteam is responsible for designing and managing the systems that contribute to achieving the accuracy of the desired altitude and trajectory of the rocket. They often collaborate with the Avionics subteam to ensure that the air brakes system adapts dynamically to real-time conditions, optimizing flight stability and ascent safety.
