Advanced IMU Development for Bath University Rocket Team

Explore how 3DPHOTONiX provides specialized electronic systems, including advanced inertial measurement units (IMUs) and integrated flight systems, to support the Bath University Rocket Team's competitive and high-altitude rocketry missions.

Advanced IMU Development for Bath University Rocket Team

3DPHOTONiX collaborates closely with academic and industry partners to deliver precision-engineered electronics tailored for demanding aerospace applications. Our partnership with the Bath University Rocket Team exemplifies our commitment to providing sophisticated, reliable solutions critical to competitive and exploratory rocketry.

Inertial Measurement Unit IMU Custom PCB

Our Advanced IMU Development:
We developed a custom inertial measurement unit (IMU) featuring active temperature control to maintain sensor stability and accuracy during extreme rocket launches. Our IMU utilizes advanced sensor fusion algorithms, resulting in significantly reduced drift and highly precise measurements, essential for accurate flight control and analysis.

Support for Bath Rocket Team's Custom Electronics:
Beyond IMUs, 3DPHOTONiX provides comprehensive electronic systems to the Bath University Rocket Team, including advanced flight computers integrated with long-range telemetry, detailed data logging capabilities, and precision apogee detection for optimal parachute deployment. Our electronics successfully supported the team at the European Rocketry Challenge (EUROC), showcasing their reliability under rigorous conditions.

Next Generation IMU Development:
Currently, we are advancing to a second-generation IMU system tailored for Bath University's ambitious 20km rocket launch project. This upgraded system integrates robust telemetry capabilities and enhanced apogee detection, marking another significant step in high-performance aerospace electronics.
