About

MINI-APTERROS (Advanced Propulsion Technology for Reusable Rocket and Operating System) is a technology demonstrator for a new generation of reusable launch vehicles developed by CNES, the French space agency, in collaboration with universities.

The project focused on technologies for vertical landing and rocket reusability. Our eight-person team was divided into four workstreams:

  • Integration and PCB design
  • Altitude control
  • Orientation control
  • Motor analysis

I worked on the orientation-control team and proposed a mechanical system for orienting the boosters to stabilize the vehicle during flight.
