ARES - Data Acquisition System

Project Overview

The data acquisition and control system for the hybrid rocket engine test campaign. A custom ground support equipment (GSE) cart houses the control electronics and fluid system, running a real-time DAQ and control architecture that logs pressures, temperatures and thrust while sequencing the engine through fill, fire and purge.
