Ajay Murugappa developed a sensor fusion-based rocket dynamics simulation for the Avionics-Propulsion-Landers-GT/MonopropUAV repository, focusing on enhancing trajectory prediction and thrust management. Leveraging Python, he integrated modular rocket physics—incorporating thrust and drag calculations—into a real-time simulation framework. Ajay implemented a Model Predictive Controller to optimize control responses, enabling faster and more accurate decision-making within the propulsion stack. His work established a reusable foundation for real-time optimization and automated validation, directly supporting safer and more efficient flight operations. The project demonstrated depth in control systems and model predictive control, addressing complex dynamics modeling challenges in rocket propulsion systems.
