Hey guys,
I am a team leader of Avionics for my University's new Rocket Club. We are planning on launching a rocket with a helix solid fuel grain hybrid engine that our propulsion team is building. I am in charge of the Avionic System and have a few questions regarding the battery.
The rocket is supposed to reach a height of 1km and have a maximum acceleration of 5G. The system we are building is meant to be used for:

The rocket is supposed to reach a height of 1km and have a maximum acceleration of 5G. The system we are building is meant to be used for:
- ignition (heating a resistor surrounded by flammable chemicals)
- parachute deployment (sending a signal to a parachute deployment mechanism designed by the structure team)
- record video of the flight an save it onto an SD card
- transmit to ground station via a telemetry device data captured from sensors such as:
- velocity
- acceleration
- pitch/roll/yaw
- flight path
- temperature
- pressure
- How can I know which battery to get?
- Will a single battery be able to power a whole circuit board?
- Do I need to ensure every component operates at the same voltage?
- What parameters should I be looking at in order to decide on the voltage of battery to get?
