ELectronics department
The electronics department is responsible for the vital systems that power our rockets. From flight computers to igniters, and from soldering the smallest chips to building recovery trackers, we ensure that every system operates flawlessly. Our department plays a crucial role in executing key events like ignition and separation with precision and reliability.
While we primarily work with components and software from external suppliers, including our sponsors, we are also developing our very own AQUILO Flight Computer - a long-term project that will push our technological capabilities even further.
Like every department, the electronics department consists of a department head, members, and advisors. Our work is a balance of both theoretical and practical challenges. The theoretical side involves researching and programming the right components, while the practical side focuses on assembling, calibrating, and rigorously testing each system to ensure they perform flawlessly when it matters most.

Hello there!
My name is Soraya and I am a second-year student of Aeronautical Engineering in Delft. I am from Asturias, Spain and I took over Óscar’s position into the role of Head of the Electronics Department.
Now, I get to focus on enhancing our electronics systems while diving deeper into aerosapace technology, a field I am very passionate about. We have some big challenges ahead, including preparing for EuRoC and developing POLARIS, our self-developed flight computer, with a focus on improving rocket-to-ground communication.
