Heading Correction in Rocket Flight System using Odometry Trajectory Information

Automated flight rocket has its own challenge regarding to disturbance of the flight. The external disturbances of the flight hence could hinder the successfulness of the flight session. Therefore, we could find many delays regarding to the rocket testing when the environment and the conditions are not supporting the rocket launch test. Here we develop a mechanism prototype of heading correction to correct the angle of the rocket during air time so that it keeps align with the route track. We make use of information generated by sensors related to odometry trajectory to obtain positioning and the heading of the rocket. The system consists of four parts; deviation detection, deviation measurement, heading correction, and correction evaluation. Finally, we add the expected results of the prototype to showcase how the rocket should react when using this system. These expected results can also be helpful as reference for simulation or real experiment.
