"Avionics" refers to the system that operates the electronic systems aboard the vehicle. These systems are commonly used to deploy recovery systems, collect data, send telemetry, and activate payloads. Avionics interfaces with many subteams
- Propulsion
- Detect Launch
- Records apogee
- Recovery
- Commands parachute deployment
- Payload
- Activate the payload
- Ground Support
- Send and receive telemetry
