Active Stabilisation Model Rocket Computer Kit with Arduino Nano + MPU6050

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Take your model rocketry to the next level by building a real-time active stabilisation computer that keeps your rocket vertical using a 2-axis thrust vector control gimbal and sensor fusion. Whether you're competing in a student rocketry challenge or prototyping a scalable stabilisation platform, this kit gives you everything to implement a closed-loop PID controller on an Arduino Nano, with dual parachute ejection for safe recovery.

This is not just a parts bundle—it’s a complete flight-critical system designed around the MPU6050 gyro/accelerometer and BMP280 barometer, feeding fused attitude data into a PID algorithm that drives two MG90S servos on a custom 2-axis gimbal. Two relay modules handle sequential parachute deployment at apogee and main altitude, while a microSD module logs every flight parameter for post-launch analysis. Every component is pre-tested together, so you skip the painful debug cycles of sourcing mismatched parts from multiple sellers.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a compact flight computer that actively corrects rocket tilt during ascent using the TVC gimbal. The system detects apogee via the barometer, triggers a drogue parachute, then deploys the main chute at a user-defined altitude. All sensor data and PID responses are timestamped on a microSD card, giving you complete telemetry for flight optimization.

What You'll Learn

• Sensor fusion of MPU6050 accelerometer/gyro and BMP280 barometer for accurate attitude and altitude estimation
• Implementing a PID control loop on Arduino Nano to drive a 2-axis thrust vector control gimbal
• Designing a dual-event parachute ejection system using 5V relays and recovery logic
• Logging real-time flight data to microSD and analyzing rocket performance post-flight
