The Sentinel Data Logger (SDL) began as a compact avionics platform designed to capture high-resolution flight data during experimental rocket launches. Early in development, the focus was on building a robust hardware foundation capable of recording multiple synchronized sensor streams while remaining reliable in the harsh conditions of rocket flight. The board integrates an STM32-based microcontroller with several onboard sensors—including inertial measurement units and bar

The rocket used to test the SDL board is based on a modified Mustang  kit from AeroTech. The kit provides a solid baseline airframe, which makes it a good starting point for avionics testing while still leaving room for small modifications to accommodate custom payload hardware. Assembly begins with the standard kit components—airframe tube, fins, motor mount, and recovery system—laid out and prepared before construction. Using a kit like this helps keep the structural side o
