Daybreak DAQ and Testing

Working on data acquisition and validation, conducting hydrostatic tests, building a PID controller and coupon thermal testing.

Conducting testing and infrastructure work for the Daybreak space-shot flight vehicle:

Hydrostatic Testing: Setting up strain gauges and pressurizing the case to 1200+ psi to mimic axial and hoop strain on the case during flight conditions.
PID Controller: Working on a Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller for the carbon fibre case oven
Thermal and Calorimetry: Establishing an operating procedure and apparatus for thermodynamic testing of various paint and other material coupons.
Rail Guides: Launch tower system to ensure straight and direct launches.
