A Kalman Filter is a mathematical algorithm that helps engineers determine the most accurate estimate of a system's state by combining sensor measurements with predictive models. Originally developed for aerospace applications, Kalman Filters are widely used in rockets, satellites, aircraft, and autonomous systems to reduce sensor noise and improve navigation accuracy.

This project shows how an MKR/MKT1010 and MPU6050 sensor can turn real motion into a live 3D visualization. Using Arduino IDE and Processing, raw accelerometer and gyroscope data is converted into roll, pitch, and yaw, then displayed as a moving rocket or aircraft model in real time.

Thrust Vector Control (TVC) lets rockets steer by tilting their engines, changing the direction of thrust mid-flight. Used by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Starship, TVC replaces fins in space, guiding rockets with precision. Through dual-axis gimbals, simple trigonometry, and real-time control, rockets stay stable and on course. From large boosters to student-built models, TVC is the key to modern rocket control and reusable spaceflight.

Arduino is a fun and beginner-friendly way to dive into the world of electronics and coding. It’s a small, affordable device that you can program to perform various cool functions, such as blinking lights, sensing motion, or even building your robot.

If you've ever found yourself squinting at color bands on tiny cylinders while soldering a circuit board, you're not alone. Understanding resistors—especially metal film resistors—is a rite of passage for electronics hobbyists and professionals alike.
