Leveraging Common Technology and Programming for Amateur Spaceflight - Mads Wilson
Explore the innovative approach taken by Copenhagen Suborbitals to launch a human in space using common technology and programming, overcoming challenges and achieving milestones towards a simpler and more affordable spaceflight solution.
- The speaker, Copenhagen Suborbitals, is attempting to launch a human in space using common technology and programming.
- The team has made progress, with a successful launch and a capsule design that allows for smooth descent.
- Issues with the guidance system and the state machine have been encountered, but have been addressed.
- Dynamic pressure regulation has been implemented to control the rocket’s movement.
- The goal is to build a rocket that can take a human in space, with a focus on simplicity and low cost.
- The team has built a number of rocket parts, including a booster capsule, and has tested a parachute system.
- Issues with the launch platform and the setup of the rocket have been encountered, but have been resolved.
- The team has also encountered difficulties with the rocket’s stability, including problems with the fins and the gyroscopes.
- Despite these challenges, the team has made progress and is continuing to work towards their goal.
- The aim is to make it accessible and affordable for others to build and launch rockets, with a focus on open-source and community-driven development.
