Full-stack propulsion testing: From welded stainless frame to wireless telemetry

Ground support equipment for static firing H-Class solid rocket motors with wireless telemetry.

Problem Space

Validating solid rocket motor performance requires a secured ground test platform capable of isolating thrust data from structural vibration while maintaining operator safety distance.

Solution Architecture

Designed a welded Stainless Steel 304 frame optimized for stiffness using FEA. Developed a custom wireless DAQ system (Arduino/NRF24L01) to stream real-time thrust curves to a Python dashboard from 100m safety range.

System Highlights

Generated weldment drawings and cut-lists for fabrication communication
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) validating frame rigidity (<0.15mm deflection)
Custom Python script for real-time serial plotting and CSV logging
Integrated MCXK-E Load Cell with HX711 amplification circuit

Primary Result

10x Standoff

10m (Wired) → 100m (Wireless)
