They are tasked with the prediction of the rockets flight path regarding ascend and descent too. This role is heavily associated with programming that aims to optimize certain geometrical aspects of the rocket by implementing various selection and prediction algorithms. Lastly, the take into account every data that we gain from each flight in order to associate it with an aerodynamic phenomenon that might affect future flights.
Responsibilities:
- Simulation of Rocket’s fligh path
- Modelling of Rocket’s Parameters in code
- Estimation of Rocket’s aerodynamic behavior
- Implementation of weather models & forecasts
Learned Skills:
- CAD Softwares (Inventor, Solidworks)
- Various Programming Languages (Matlab, python)
- Fluid Mechanics
- Statistical Mechanics
