RockLab 1

We've finished the RockLab 1 structure!

Reflow Toaster Controller

This device is used to control the temperature profile inside the oven. 

It uses a PIC16F88 integrated circuit.

The UPC recognizes the work done by the TRT during the 2010

Thank's for the price and all the support that we have received from the School and the University.

TRT evolution

From the left to the right you could see the little rocket models from the first phase, the Blue Thunder, another rocket model, a water rocket, the electronic bay from the Rocklab I, and the "skeleton" of the RockLab I.  

In this image you could appreciate the size of the of the rockets.

Don't worry!! We keep working!!

The project Rocklab 1 has stopped during our exam period but now we keep working on all the fields. 


CLIK FOR MORE INFORMATION

Short 3D video

Here you can see a really short video of all the rocket parts. It's just a teaser of a coming longer video.

Introduction to RockLab Concept

Rocklab is a quite new concept, the concept of a flying laboratory where students, professors and companies will be able to test their experiments.

On the one hand, Rocklab will make possible to carry out experiments under extreme conditions of accelerations, vibrations, etc. On the other hand, it will also enable to perform experiments under microgravity and low-gravity conditions.

This flying laboratory will give students, professors and companies the opportunity to put their ideas and projects into the rocket to try them out. For example, this vehicle will be able to transport “CanSat”1 of different categories, or new positioning and telemetry systems that could be tested on board. Additionally, it could be used to certify new electronic systems to be implemented in real satellites. This vehicle also provides total flexibility, since its length can be adapted to the payload. And being a single-stage rocket, its architecture makes Rocklab simple and robust.

However, Rocklab will not just be a vehicle which will carry experiments as payload in order to verify their performance. Furthermore, Rocklab will be a test bench to get more reliable information about rockets and improve different rocket subsystems and configurations. This will help to widen the knowledge in this field so as to support future projects.
