University of Colorado at Boulder January 21, 2004 Boulder, Colorado DINO General Meeting Deployment and Intelligent Nanosatellite Operations (DINO) University of Colorado at Boulder January 21, 2004 Boulder, Colorado

DINO’s Mission Statement The purpose of the student-led Deployment and Intelligent Nanosatellite Operations (DINO) mission is to determine cloud heights from space, evaluate the performance of intelligent operations, and assess deployment technologies for nanosatellites including a gravity-gradient boom, memory composite hinges, and thin-film solar arrays. Colorado Space Grant Consortium

DINO’s Mission Objectives Deployment Objectives Demonstrate MicroSat’s Foldable Integrated Thin-Film Stiffened (FITS) solar arrays Demonstrate Composite Technology Development’s Elastic Memory Composite (EMC) hinges Evaluate the deployment of a gravity-gradient boom Operations Objectives Demonstrate MicroSat’s thin-film solar cells Demonstrate Ball’s power system Demonstrate wireless communication between the primary satellite and the tip mass Intelligent Operations Objectives Demonstrate autonomous scheduling, planning, execution, and rescheduling Onboard evaluation of science and engineering data Science Objectives Measure cloud heights Education Objectives Educate students to design, build, and operate small satellites Educate K-12 students about science and engineering using DINO Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Meetings for the Semester Team Meetings will be held once a week All team members are required to go to their team’s meeting Systems Meetings will be held once a week Team leads are required to attend and everyone else is welcome General Meetings These will occur when needed Special topics will be covered at these meetings like Configuration Management One representative from each team is required to attend and then report at their team meeting Meeting Minutes and the presentation that was given will be available on the website http://spacegrant.colorado.edu/dino Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Beginning of Semester Tasks Determine how many more people are needed on your team. Schedule a time to meet with Jen to go over your team’s detailed schedule. Determine when your team’s weekly meetings are. Get Jen your schedule of the semester if you haven’t already. Input your schedule into http://calendar.colorado.edu Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Colorado Space Grant Consortium Semester Timeline February 9-13: Subsystem Progress Check March 8-12: Critical Design Review April 19-23: End of Semester Peer Review May – June: Subsystem Delivery July: Integration Starts Colorado Space Grant Consortium

Colorado Space Grant Consortium New Students A new student orientation will be held based on the schedules given to me Talk to your team lead and get started If you don’t have a team lead, talk to Jen Explore the DINO website http://spacegrant.colorado.edu/dino For questions contact Jen Michels at michels@colorado.edu Colorado Space Grant Consortium
