19. Payload Concept of Operations
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
This is for the “winning” payload only
After Decision Analysis, you only use the “winning” payload concept
Describe what happens after the UAH spacecraft says “go” … Describe, at a minimum, the 4 phases:
Initial Conditions
Deployment
Trajectory
Ending Conditions
This is an “overview” and introductory chart for the Engineering Analysis, which comes next
This should be an image (a “cartoon”) showing what the payload will do
You may use multiple charts if needed

20. Analysis: Initial Conditions
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
This chart will summarize the calculations you did to determine your initial conditions
Some initial conditions are simple, but we need to state all our known parameters & assumptions
The chart should have at least 3 major bullets: Given, Assumptions, Solution … and you should have a representative image on the right side
Given:
Put the stuff you know here
Example: orbital altitude, radius and/or mass of planet, …
Assumptions:
List all your assumptions for the initial conditions here
Examples: circular orbit, no drag, stationary, angles, …
Solution:
Here is where you put the answer to your initial condition calculation(s) … no equations, just the answer

21. Analysis: Deployment
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
This chart will summarize the calculations you did to determine your deployment
Some deployments are simple, but we need to state all our known parameters & assumptions
The chart should have at least 3 major bullets: Given, Assumptions, Solution … and you should have a representative image on the right side
Given:
Put the stuff you know here
Example: masses, radius/size, deployment length, …
Assumptions:
List all your assumptions for the deployment here
Examples: no friction, gravity neglected, constant pressure, …
Solution:
Here is where you put the answer to your deployment calculation(s) … no equations, just the answer
This can be multiple charts if necessary

22. Analysis: Trajectory
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
This chart will summarize the calculations you did to determine your trajectory
Some trajectories are simple, but we need to state all our known parameters & assumptions
The chart should have at least 3 major bullets: Given, Assumptions, Solution … and you should have a representative image on the right side
Given:
Put the stuff you know here
Example: gravity, atmospheric conditions, masses, …
Assumptions:
List all your assumptions for the trajectory here
Examples: constant gravity, atmospheric conditions, terminal velocity appicability, …
Solution:
Here is where you put the answer to your trajectory calculation(s) … no equations, just the answer
This can be multiple charts if necessary

23. Analysis: Ending Conditions
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
This chart will summarize the calculations you did to determine your ending conditions
Some ending conditions are simple, but we need to state all our known parameters & assumptions
The chart should have at least 3 major bullets: Given, Assumptions, Solution … and you should have a representative image on the right side
Given:
Put the stuff you know here
Example: gravity, surface area, masses, material strengths, …
Assumptions:
List all your assumptions for the trajectory here
Examples: constant gravity, buckling pressure, deceleration distance, …
Solution:
Here is where you put the answer to your ending condition(s) calculation(s) … no equations, just the answer
This can be multiple charts if necessary

25. [Insert Team Name]’s Mission
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
Show a graphic here of your team’s mission
Describe each step in the concept of operations
This chart can look A LOT like the ConOps chart, but you put some more details in it (like the details that you just talked about in the Engineering Analysis slides)
This should be considered a not-so-subtle hint
Show the numerical values for each phase of the mission from the design analysis you performed

26. Mass Table by Function
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
Provide a mass breakdown of your payload by function
Deploy
Measure
Collect Data
Provide Power
Send Data
House/Contain Payload
You can use a 3 column table for this
Column 1 – function
Column 2 – components (what is counted in this function)
Column 3 - mass
Total all of the mass to show you are below 10 kg
If you have multiple payloads/probes, please indicate such
If all payloads/probes are identical, show masses for one, and then show multiplication for all probes, and show less than 10kg
If payloads/probes are different, you should list them separately, then add together in a final table … still show that the total is less than 10kg

27. Requirements Compliance
[Team logo here]
[School logo here]
Provide a compliance table that shows you meet all of the requirements
Project
Environmental
Functional
Don’t over-think this chart …
Three column table: Requirement, Verification, & Compliance
Under Requirement, list the requirements (Project, Functional, & Environmental)
Under Verification, list your payload’s characteristic (e.g., for the Requirement of Mass is less than 10kg, under Verification, list your payload’s mass)
Under Compliance, LITERALLY, put a green check-mark showing that you “passed” the requirment

28. Community Engagement Activity Summary
