Jonas Binz, Nemanja Stojoski, Luca Jost
本文对Vega飞行计算机及其相应的地面站进行了深入分析,CATS是一家生产开源飞行计算机和为学生制造的火箭量身定制的跟踪系统的公司。 这些飞行计算机旨在支持火箭达到高达30公里甚至更高的高度,在推进教育火箭和促进航空航天工程的实践学习经验方面起着至关重要的作用。 作为欧洲火箭挑战赛(EuRoC)的官方赞助商,这些飞行计算机已成为比赛不可或缺的一部分,提供了可靠和复杂的遥测和控制能力,增强了安全性和性能。 本文深入探讨了这些系统的技术规格和教育影响,强调了它们为更广泛的欧洲火箭计划的贡献。 通过最近欧洲火箭挑战赛的全面实地数据和案例研究,这项研究强调了开源飞行计算机激发下一代航空航天专业人员的潜力。
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the Vega flight computer, and its corresponding ground station developed by CATS, a company producing open-source flight computers and tracking systems tailored for student-made rockets. These flight computers, designed to support rockets reaching altitudes of up to 30 km and possibly higher, play a crucial role in advancing educational rocketry and facilitating hands-on learning experiences in aerospace engineering. As the official sponsor of the Euro...
