12. Propulsion Team
Becca Tobin

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

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

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

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

17. 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

18. 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

22. Communication Team
Bryce Chanes

23. 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 s to the team

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

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

26. 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

27. 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

28. 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
