From the University of Louisville University Student Launch Initiative website (uoflusli.com):

“NASA University Student Launch Initiative, or USLI, is a competition that challenges university-level students to design, build and launch a reusable rocket with a scientific or engineering payload to one mile above ground level, or AGL. The project engages students in scientific research and real-world engineering processes with NASA engineers.” The 2011-2012 school year marks the first year ever that the University of Louisville Speed School of Engineering has participated in the competition. This inaugural team consists of a diverse group with engineering students from the mechanical, electrical, computer, and industrial engineering departments.

As the electronic/payload team leader I have had the responsibility of being in charge of the scientific payload and the electronics used on our unique autonomous recovery system. This means that I have designed software for two separate embedded system (the payload and the recovery system) as well as led a sub-team of four other electrical and computer engineers to develop the software and electrical hardware necessary to do a variety of tasks such as: make scientific measurements of humidity, temperature, pressure, solar and UV irradiance, acceleration and rotational velocities, GPS coordinates, course, speed, altitude as well as control the guidance system for a custom parawing, log the measurement and transmit them wireless from a rocket in decent to a ground station with live data visualization. This project has been the largest and most intense project I have ever been a part of much less lead. Many more details including the full design reviews submitted to NASA are available on the UofL USLI website.
