Above: A device to prevent an unauthorized rocket launch and another device to protect rocket payload.
This project focuses on the development of two devices for the Sandia National Laboratories’ Senior Design Bonanza: a Launch Prevention Device (LPD) and a Payload Protection Device (PPD). The LPD functions to mechanically initiate the launch of a model rocket following the input of a five character signal. The PPD functions to record inflight system dynamics and ensure the survival of that data.
