Eagle Space Flight Team Informational Meeting Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016

Our mission To become the first undergraduate team to design, build, and fly a rocket to space.

What is “space”? Kármán Line Not going to orbit the Earth 100 km (62 miles/328,000 feet) Not going to orbit the Earth

Horizons 1 22,000 feet AGL Commercially made propellant

Horizons 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFxsdpk3epY

Learning Experiences

Sub-Teams Structures Propulsion Aerodynamics Communications Electronics

Structures Team Nicole Shriver

What we do Fabrication and testing of rocket parts CAD Modeling (CATIA) Thermal and material analysis Structural analysis

Future plans Test and launch 4-inch rocket Validate other teams’ work

New members 3+ hours/week time commitment Experience needed Fabrication CAD drawing (CATIA) Analysis (ANSYS) Previous rocketry experience Willingness to learn!

Propulsion Team Becca Tobin

What We're Working On Propellant Nozzle Design Theoretical Calculations Data Acquisition and Analysis

Plans for this semester Dispose of bubbly grain Static fire 4 grain for data acquisition Mix 5 more grains

New members Weekend availability Willing to work on tasks that need to be completed Knowledge in Data Processing Nozzle geometry and design Simulations

Aerodynamics Team Catherine Ayotte, Jesse Ives, Carl Leake (Team Lead), Nick Liapis, Alex Lubiarz, Damian Rivas, Jacob Underwood

New Members Typical time dedication is approximately 5 hours per week Less time during busy parts of the semester What we want in new members: Dedication Skills (varies by sub-team) Passion

Plans For This Year Trajectory Stability Thermal Add weather model to the simulation Add 3D drag model to the simulation Add attitude model to the simulation Validate simulations usefulness Stability Calculate and validate center of pressure Calculate and validate coefficient of drag Continue to refine current tools Thermal Create a working thermal simulation in Fluent Validate thermal simulation

Communication Team Bryce Chanes

What we do Update social media (Facebook, Twitter, website) Keep the website looking good Take pictures and video of the team Reach out for corporate sponsorship Send emails to the team

New Members Skills needed Excellent writing skills Social media Website experience (Squarespace) Graphic design Photography Communications Team Lead needed!

Electronics Team Lead: Brandon Klefman Members: Ryan Claus, Thomas Fifer, Anthony Islas, Sarah Pearson

What we do Design of the avionics payload for the rocket Responsible for tracking, data acquisition, parachute deployment and rocket recovery GUI for real time telemetry during flight Parachute deployment Multiple redundancies to detect apogee Igniter System to launch the rocket

Future plans Validation of PCB design Requires building and testing before the next launch Build a robust communication system for high altitude flights Continued development of GUI Validation of igniter software Followed by hardware design for igniter

New members Weekly time commitment: 3 hours per week In need of both Software and Electrical Engineers Desired Skills: Programming languages (C, C++) PCB design software such as Diptrace IDE software such as Code Composer Studio Embedded Systems development Hardware developement Completion of CEC320/322 or EE223/224 is a plus
