Thrust-Vector-Control-Rocket

A model thrust vector control system to maneuver a rocket with tuned PID settings.

TVC Development

Version 1

To Work On:

• Integrity (To handle 7 - 10Ns of force)
• Using bearings.
• Using heat Resistant and strong material.

Design TVC 2.0

Improvements:

• Structural integrity
• Offset Angles

Control System Design:

Requirements

• Speed
• Accuracy
• Range +-3 degrees
• Noise Damping
• Faster Response

System Characteristics

• Nonlinear control design
• Closed loop
• Rotational system
• Discrete data
• Time-varying system
• The mass of the object decreases as fuel on board is being consumed during flight.
