Zenith and Shasta IV - 20k+ ft to 30k+ ft Apogee Rockets by Space City Rocketry

In my time at Space City Rocketry, the competitive rocketry team from the AIAA University of Houston chapter, I co-led a team of over 80 student engineers as the lead avionics engineer for a year to design Zenith, a six-inch diameter High Power Rocket (HPR) that is nine feet tall and had an apogee of 21,550 feet at the International Spaceport America 2022 Cup. I also was the avionics lead from 2022-2023 for Shasta IV, a 4-inch diameter HPR with an apogee of over 36,000 feet at the 2023 Spaceport America Cup. This included various engineering projects from 3D printing the avionics bay to coding the flight computers and PCB hardware to function nominally in extreme environments over 30,000 ft into the atmosphere. As a result of my work, Space City Rocketry managed to place 2nd in all universities across Texas and 10th place globally in our category.
