Zenith R1 Altimeter

Product description

The Zenith R1 is a high-performance rocket altimeter developed by Cosmic Aerospace Technologies for model and high-power rocketry applications. Designed to deliver accurate flight measurements, dependable recovery control, and comprehensive onboard data recording, the Zenith R1 combines advanced sensors, intelligent flight detection algorithms, and dual-deployment capabilities in a compact avionics system. High-Performance STM32 Processor: Powered by the STM32F411CEU6 microcontroller, the Zenith R1 provides responsive real-time processing for flight monitoring, event detection, data acquisition, and recovery system management. Precision Barometric Altitude Measurement: Equipped with a high-resolution barometric pressure sensor, the Zenith R1 continuously monitors atmospheric pressure and temperature to calculate altitude and track flight performance. ±200G High-Acceleration Sensor: Features the ADXL375 three-axis accelerometer, capable of measuring acceleration up to ±200G. This enables accurate monitoring of high-acceleration launch events and detailed analysis of rocket flight dynamics. Intelligent Flight Detection: Uses dedicated algorithms to identify critical flight events, including launch, apogee, and touchdown. Automatic launch detection initiates flight recording without requiring manual intervention during flight. Dual-Deployment Recovery System: Features two independently controlled pyrotechnic deployment channels for drogue and main parachute recovery systems. Configurable deployment parameters allow users to adapt recovery behavior to their rocket's requirements. Integrated Flight Data Logging: Records essential flight measurements to onboard NAND flash memory, including altitude, pressure, temperature, and three-axis acceleration. Recorded flight data can be transferred to a microSD card for further analysis and post-flight review. Configurable Flight Parameters: Onboard nonvolatile EEPROM stores adjustable flight settings, including launch detection thresholds, recovery deployment parameters, and other system configurations. Deployment Continuity Monitoring: Dedicated continuity sensing circuits allow users to verify the electrical connection of their drogue and main recovery channels before launch. Status Indicators and User Controls: Integrated LED indicators and a dedicated control button provide convenient access to system status, recording functions, and data transfer operations.
