What We Do

The Atomic Aggies Avionics Team is responsible for designing, building, and operating the electronic systems that power and monitor the team’s rockets. This includes developing custom flight computers, telemetry systems, and ground-station interfaces that collect real-time data such as altitude, GPS position, velocity, orientation, and environmental conditions throughout the flight. The team integrates sensors, microcontrollers, and communication modules into a compact and reliable avionics bay, ensuring seamless operation under high-stress launch conditions. Beyond flight hardware, the Avionics Team also creates software tools for data visualization, mission analysis, and recovery tracking. Their work bridges electrical engineering, computer science, and aerospace disciplines.
