Based on a discussion with Shelby, seems like we will need to do something about vibration, and how it could impact our avionics. A couple quick notes from our conversation:

  • There are charts of vibration data we can look at, it's not secret
  • Consider vibrational modal analysis on our PCBs to see their reaction to vibration
  • PCB flexing 'like a potato chip' can break solder pads and connections
    • Best practice is to have larger components closer to the edge to reduce flexing
    • Can also add more mounting holes and standoffs around the board to reduce flexing
  • There are rubber items we can place between the standoffs and the rest of the rocket to reduce vibrations transmitted, but we'll need to know which specific frequencies we really need to block.
