2. Project Description Part of the M.E.T.E.O.R. family Launching small payloads into low-Earth orbit Continuation of P06006: Hybrid Rocket Engine Design and Testing Working in conjunction with P07105 & P07106 Research, develop, and manufacture a flight ready hybrid rocket stage Achieve a structure to propellant ratio of 1:10 The highest acceptable value is 2:10 Other specifications to consider Maintain structural integrity Accommodation of other systems Manufacturing feasibility Improvement on ignition system

3. Chalice HTPB Fuel Grain Nitrous Oxide Tank (inside) Pre Combustion Chamber Post-Combustion Chamber Graphite Nozzle Electronics Payload Composite Outer Shell (Aluminum Inner Reinforced)

4. Embedded Fuel Grain HTPB Fuel Grain Nitrous Oxide Tank Pre-Combustion Chamber Post-Combustion ChamberGraphite Nozzle Composite Outer Shell (Aluminum Inner Liner) Siphon Tube Inner Shell

5. Special Concerns Given the cooperative nature of the project, physical data is still needed to make any final design decisions Testing is scheduled for the first week of Senior Design II Analysis of more complicated systems is out of the range of expertise for team members Combustion gas behavior

6. Current State of Design Accurate theoretical models have been made and await technical data from testing results Finite Element Analysis Thermal Modeling Material selection is underway Outer body materials Composite tank selection Pre and post combustion chamber alternatives Ignition system has been optimized and preliminary construction has begun Specific Bill of Materials and Budget cannot be made at this time

7. MSD II Schedule Week 1: Testing and data acquisition Week 2: Design selection and finalization Weeks 3-5: Material selection and ordering Weeks 6-8: Manufacture Week 9: Testing Week 10: Finalized documentation and Project Review
