2 Mission Statement & Goals: -To autonomously deploy a rover upon landing. Goals: To survive the flight To deploy successfully

3 Benefits to NASA: -Possible design for swarm robots for use in extraterrestrial exploration -Possible design for deployment mechanism for smaller swarm based robotics.

4 Design: Current Mass: 1100g

5 Design:

6 Design:

7 Design:

8 Design: Void accelerometer_test(){ while(stable_count < STABLE_STATE){ // READ IN ACCELEROMETER VALUE y_values[array_index] = analogRead(Y_AXIS); delay(120); // CALCULATE AVERAGE for(int a = 0; a < (ARRAY_SIZE - 1); a ++){ y_average = y_values[a] + y_average; } y_average = y_average / (ARRAY_SIZE); //CHECK DEVIATION OF Y if(y_values[array_index] > (y_average + DEVIATION)){ stable_count = stable_count/2; } else if(y_values[array_index] ARRAY_SIZE) array_index = 0; } }

9 Expected Results: -We anticipate to find the box in good physical condition upon landing -We anticipate a successful deployment of a rover.

10 Level of Readiness: Units are in degrees F

11 Level of Readiness: 8 sample set 6 sample set Impulse test with two levels of filtering. Averaging filter to reduce impulse noise

12 Level of Readiness: Tests Performed: Cold Test Battery Endurance Test Drop Test Full System Test
