ICARUS-RLV

Autonomous stratospheric reentry vehicle hardware testbed for guidance, navigation, control and recovery.

Close the loop.

ICARUS is designed as an end-to-end avionics and flight-control testbed. The architecture combines deterministic embedded software on ESP32/FreeRTOS with active attitude and aerodynamic control, telemetry and a return-to-launch concept.

COMPUTE
Dual-core ESP32 / C++ / FreeRTOS
CONTROL
RCS / Grid Fins / PID
RECOVERY
RTLS / Parachute
