Includes bibliographical references. This dissertation presents the design, fabrication and testing of a sounding rocket flight computer for the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO). Sounding rockets carry instruments with which to take measurements in the Earth’s atmosphere in sub-orbital flight. The South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) requires a flight computer for their sounding rockets. This flight computer is to replace the current commercial flight computer currently in use improving on its functionality and expandability. 2014-07-31T10:35:56Z 2014-07-31T10:35:56Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5077 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
