Designing a Rocket Controller for Altitude Control

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a rocket controller for altitude control using movable fins. The project involves receiving signals from an altimeter to adjust the fin angles, ensuring the rocket maintains the desired altitude. The participant has a background in Electrical Engineering (EE) and is seeking additional resources such as journals and e-books to deepen their understanding of feedback systems and rocket control variations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electrical Engineering principles
  • Familiarity with feedback control systems
  • Knowledge of altimeter technology
  • Basic concepts of pitch, roll, and yaw in aerospace dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "PID control systems for rocket stabilization"
  • Explore "altimeter integration in aerospace applications"
  • Study "movable fin design for rocket control"
  • Investigate "journal articles on rocket control systems"
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, students in Electrical Engineering, and hobbyists interested in rocket design and control systems will benefit from this discussion.

hye..
i'm working on my FYP project on designing and building a rocket controller which will react on altitude change thus shifting the angle of its fin to make sure the rocket fly to the right altitude. can anyone help me with the topic?

Welcome to the PF. What have you learned so far? What kind of feedback systems have you worked with before? Is your background mainly EE or ME or some combination of both?
 
mu background is EE...
ive learned that there is several way to control a rocket, and currently i'd decided to use movable fins. the system will receive signal from an altimeter. i am actually still looking for journal and e-book on this topic,but sadly most of the source i found tells so few on the topic. but i do know about pitch roll and yaw. and i do aware of the variations of rocket control sys.
can u help me on this please..tq berkeman
