Project: Olympus is an engineering project that utilizes an Arduino Nano microcontroller to create an electronic payload that records altitude, g-forces experienced by the rocket, as well as roll rate. Included with the code is a 132 page Project Manual that takes you through the design and construction of the electronic payload. It also includes sections on the construction of the Estes Olympus rocket. A detailed code review of each section of code is included.

Research and engineering projects collect a lot of data. Data is collected during the development of the launch vehicle and payload. Data is collected during testing of the system, and data is collected during the actual flights. Working with data doesn’t stop there. Once the data has been collected it must be reviewed to make sure that the project is performing as expected. Data analysis is a critical part of any research or engineering project. To help with a basic understanding of how databases are constructed and how they can be used we have created the Rocketry Research Assistant (RRA) database project. ...

Project: Icarus is a proof of concept model rocketry research project that brings several individual projects together into a single model rocketry research launch vehicle. This specific project includes an avionics payload, temperature sensors along the body, and a video camera. The sensors record the heat buildup inside the body tube as the solid rocket motor burns and fires the ejection charge. The sensors are placed in three different locations along the body tube to provide data on the temperature between the motor mount and the body tube, the temperature above the motor mount but below the flameproof recovery wadding, and finally the area where the parachute is housed, just above the wadding. ...

If you do a search for model rocket electronic payload, you will see a lot of entries for medium to high power, large diameter rockets. These types of rockets are large, typically 80mm (3.1 inches) in diameter or larger. These rockets are flown in large open areas, often deserts and dry lake beds. These larger rockets also use larger propellants, typically in the High Power Rocketry (HPR) range of “H” and above impulse level.
