HELIOS / FLIGHT SYSTEM● IN DEVELOPMENT
Flight control
Data, attitude, and actuation brought together in one platform.
01 — HELIOS / SYSTEM OVERVIEWFrom control
From control
to telemetry.
An experimental platform integrating a flight computer, two-axis TVC, and a ground station.
Helios brings onboard electronics, sensors, actuation, and communications together in one system. The flight computer collects attitude and environmental data, coordinates pitch/yaw control, and records telemetry for analysis.
Development spans PCB design in Altium Designer, board assembly and module integration, bench testing, and data visualization in the ground station.
01SENSORS → attitude + environment + position
02FLIGHT COMPUTER → control + logging
03GROUND STATION → telemetry + analysis
02 — ARCHITECTURESubsystems
Subsystems
in sync.
The main Helios building blocks, from sensing to data transmission.
CONTROL / 2 AXES↗
TVC actuation
Two servos on the pitch and yaw axes provide thrust vector control.
SENSORS / GNSS⌁
Sensors and position
MPU6050 IMU, BME280 barometer, and u-blox NEO-M9N GPS receiver.
DATA / XBEE⇢
Logging and telemetry
25 Hz data logging and XBee communications with the ground station.
03 — DEVELOPMENTFrom design
From design
