Advanced Electronics Built In House
To save on costs and complexity, we built our own data collection and actuation system for our engine testing setup. This enables us to collect the data we need. We can therefore rapidly improve our engine designs!

Rocket Controls
We believe that starting with a robust backbone is the most important part of any engineering process, so we decided on a simple, lightweight, unified 24V power bus. We were also inspired by the Controller Area Network (CAN) interface used in cars and some avionics systems, which allows multiple devices to interact and exchange data over just one wire pair. We implement its latest and fastest version, CAN FD, on all our new systems.
Pump Electronics
Power electronics are what make our rocket's fuel pumps possible. We acquired two of the biggest motor-ESC packages from our beloved sponsor Castle Creations, as well as a separate LiPo battery with a high C rate, just to run the pumps turbines at the sustained power levels and speeds it needs.
