Rocket Flight Data Logger Kit: Log Acceleration & Altitude with Arduino Nano, MPU6050, BMP280

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

Capture every twist, turn, and altitude change of your rocket flight with a self-contained data logger. This kit combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a precision barometric altimeter to record flight dynamics at 100 samples per second, storing everything to a microSD card for detailed post-flight analysis. Perfect for model rocketry clubs, spacecraft simulation projects, and STEM competitions.

What You'll Build

A compact payload that timestamps every data point using a real-time clock, logs acceleration and altitude to a CSV file on microSD, and can be mounted inside a standard model rocket. After recovery, you'll pull the SD card and immediately see your flight profile-acceleration curves, peak altitude, and flight events-using spreadsheet tools or Python scripts.

What You'll Learn

• High-speed sensor interfacing: reading MPU6050 and BMP280 simultaneously at 100 Hz via I2C
• Buffered SD card data logging with error handling and real-time clock synchronization
• Time synchronization using a DS3231 RTC for accurate mission timestamps
• Post-flight analysis: CSV parsing, acceleration vs. time plots, altitude profile extraction
