About IGNIS

The Project

IGNIS is an open-source thrust vector control (TVC) system designed for model rocketry enthusiasts, students, and researchers. The name "IGNIS" means "fire" in Latin, representing the fiery passion for rocketry and the controlled combustion that powers our rockets.

Mission

To make advanced rocketry accessible to everyone by providing high-quality, open-source designs for thrust vectoring systems that can be built with readily available components and 3D printers.

Features

Complete open-source hardware and software
Modular design for easy customization
Real-time altitude control with IMU fusion
Long-range LoRa telemetry
GPS tracking and logging
3D printable mechanical parts
Comprehensive documentation
