I’m Joe Hanko, a mechanical engineering student. This site documents my work on rocket avionics, ground software, and a desktop tensile tester.

Featured project 2026

Dirac Delta L1 Rocketry

I designed the avionics bay for a high-power rocket and built the firmware, ground receiver, and Mission Control dashboard around it.
