I worked on the design and fabrication of the system. I custom designed and 3D printed the enclosures for the controller, casing and mound for all sensors, also the thrust vector control mechanism for the nozzle. The major challenge was to make each design as small as possible while maintaining the structural integrity of the design, functionality of the model and the visual appearance of the design. I made a locking mechanism for attaching the body and cap of the boxes for the controllers so that we can eliminate the use of Nuts, Bolts and other types of fasteners. This enabled us to easily open and close the enclosure during the development process without wasting precious time. Another challenge was the thrust vector controlling system. For that, I had to design a system that allows slight motions in 2 angles and a small spin for the easy movement of the nozzle.
