Desenvolvimento de um sistema de baixo custo para voos suborbitais

Abstract

This work focuses on the development of a low cost system for suborbital flights that allows the measurement of inertial variables of a space vehicle (angles of attitude, pressure, temperature and altitude), as well as the capture of the images on board, sending all the information captured, in real time, to an Earth station. To implement the project, it was necessary define low-cost commercial electronic components (sensors, microcontrollers and microprocessors) and sought to develop and integrate a payload to be embedded in rockets. It was also necessary, the development of embedded software and support in soil, thus allowing the monitoring and recording of the information captured for further analysis. This led to a good performance in the values observed considering the limitations imposed by the data transmission speed conditions available in suborbital vehicles.
