9/6/2022

Meeting goal:

  • Update from subteams
  • Decide payload

Rocket Mission:

  1. Refine fit and finish of rocket and design process/testing
  2. Flight Computer (backplane)
  3. Deployable Payload
Old Items

Structures:
Finish inventory
Fix xwinder
CAD at least the booster

Payload:
Figure out secondary payload

Avionics:
Each module owner - make block diagram
-make sure including newer members
-send update to Ben

TopicFinished from last weekBlockersAction Items for this week

Structures

  • Design
  • Analysis 
  • Manufacturing
  • Design
    • CAD parts started
  • Analysis
    • Met with grace
    • research into what other teams have done (list of other ideas from teams in drive, multiple forms of verification and testing, ground testing)
  • Manufacturing
    • X-winder fixed
    • Inventory complete
    • CAD parts started
n/a
  • Design
    • Update OpenRocket
      • Deployable payload
      • Avoid wires passing the reaction wheel
      • Continue CAD
  • Analysis
    • More research into testing ideas 
    • Pick testing to be done
    • make priority list
      • make timeline
  • Manufacturing
    •  Saturday
      • wind test tube CF
        • check materials tonight (tues)

Payload

  • Design
  • Analysis
  • Manufacturing

Deciding what to do:



Decide what our payload mission is
  • Decide payload mission and scope of reaction wheel decision: Airbrakes!!!
  • Payload weekly meeting
  • Once mission is decided create timeline 
  • Start design this Saturday and establish the goal (data collection)

Avionics

  • Backplane
  • Ave bay 
  • Primary/seconday system
  • Backplane
    • mods assigned 
      • Billy=backplane, ben= autopilot, mary/louis=sensor, dante=radio, james=power
    • picked out possible components for sensor board 
  • Ave bay
    • thinking

  • finish block
  • Pick components or other mods

yev to do 101 for payload and av bay design

Reaction Wheel

  • What is reaction wheel?
    • reduce drag and lower deployment risk
    • cost of the system?
      • 200-300 max
    • Who is going to be manufacturing this?
      • new member with Nate?
Have to test before flight
  • Generate timeline
  • Finish first prototype 
  • Find machining help 
  • Research max spin failure mode
  • Research effects of torsion
  • Research moving wheel away from the center
  • RESEARCH
Other
  • TEST FLIGHT
  • Integration 

  • Research where and what we will need to do this?
  • What would our timeline be?
