6. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview Mission statement Break mission statement down into your overall mission requirements What do you expect to discover or prove? Who will this benefit/what will your data be used for? 6

7. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview: Theory and Concepts Give a brief overview of the underlying science concepts and theory What other research has been performed in the past? –Results? 7

8. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview: Mission Requirements Project requirements  derived from mission statement –Break down into mission objectives, system level objectives (example on following slide) Minimum success criteria –What is the least amount of data you can collect that will still constitute a success? 8 crestock.com

9. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview: Mission Requirements The payload shall conform to the requirements set forth in the 2011 RockSat-X User Guide The system shall measure the numerical density of charged particles in the upper atmosphere from 30±5 km to 50±5 km The system should measure the numerical density of charged particles in the upper atmosphere from 30±1 km to 50±1 km Shall is legally binding and indicative of minimum success Should are an ideal metrics of performance that would lead to better science/performance, but are not required for minimum success. 9 crestock.com

10. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview: Concept of Operations Based on science objectives, diagram of what the payload will be doing during flight, highlights areas of interest Example on following 2 slides 10

11. 2011 CoDR Example ConOps t ≈ 1.3 min Altitude: 75 km Event A Occurs t ≈ 15 min Splash Down t ≈ 1.7 min Altitude: 95 km Event B Occurs -G switch triggered -All systems on -Begin data collection t = 0 min t ≈ 4.0 min Altitude: 95 km Event C Occurs Apogee t ≈ 2.8 min Altitude: ≈115 km End of Orion Burn t ≈ 0.6 min Altitude: 52 km t ≈ 4.5 min Altitude: 75 km Event D Occurs Altitude t ≈ 5.5 min Chute Deploys

12. 2011 CoDR 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. Launch Telemetry/GPS begins Telemetry/GPS begins 2. Launch to Apogee Telemetry/GPS continues Telemetry/GPS continues 3. Apogee Nose cone separation Nose cone separation Skin separation Skin separation De-spin to TBD rate De-spin to TBD rate Option to align with B Field Option to align with B Field Telemetry/GPS continues Telemetry/GPS continues 4. Descent Telemetry/GPS continues Telemetry/GPS continues 5. Chute Deploy Telemetry/GPS continues Telemetry/GPS continues 6. Landing Telemetry/GPS terminates Telemetry/GPS terminates Payloads recovered Payloads recovered ACS Activated (if desired) Example ConOps 12

13. 2011 CoDR Mission Overview: Expected Results 13 This is vital in showing you understand the science concepts Go over what you expect to find –Ex. What wavelengths do you expect to see? How many particles do you expect to measure? How well do you expect the spin stabilizer to work (settling time?)? How many counts of radiation? etc

14. 2011 CoDR Design Overview 14 Utilization of heritage elements (designs/features used on previous flights) defined. How will you be modifying them for your specific mission? –Will you be using stacked configuration, makrolon, same type of sensor as a previous flight? Major technology dependencies: what kind of sensors will you need? –What do the capabilities of the sensors need to be? (ex. For an optical sensor, what wavelengths should it be able to detect? This is based on project requirements) clipartguide.com

15. 2011 CoDR Design Overview: Functional Block Diagrams Functional block diagram –Shows how systems interact with each other –Mechanical – will show how payload is configured, especially if there are sensors external to the payload –Electrical – shows how data will be recorded, stored Example on following slide 15 blogs.msdn.com

16. 2011 CoDR Example FBD (electrical) 16 Microcontroller Power G-SwitchRBF (Wallops) ADC Dust Collector ADC Flash Memory Z Accelerometer X / Y Accelerometer Current Measuring Device Power Data Power Data

17. 2011 CoDR Example FBD – mechanical/system (rough diagram) 17 Makrolon plate Electronics - storing data (mounted to plate) Power RockSat-X Deck Sensor(s) Electronics – controlling sensor (mounted to plate) Hardware mounted to RockSat-X Deck Mounts to RockSat-X Payload Deck

18. 2011 CoDR Design Overview: Payload Layout Initial drawings / layout in canister Preliminary idea of how many plates you will use (if you plan on using plate configuration), else idea of where and how things will be mounted Show where electronics boards (~how many?), sensors, power will be mounted –A little more organized than system block diagram (actually shows standoffs, spacing between elements) 18 classymommy.com This is NOT required at the CoDR level. If you can include this, you are ahead of the game!

19. 2011 CoDR Design Overview: RockSat-X 2011 User’s Guide Compliance 19 Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) mass estimate Estimate on payload dimensions (will it fit in the payload space?) Deployables/booms? How many ADC lines? –Do you understand the format? Asynchronous use? –Do you understand the format? Parallel use? –Do you understand the format? Power lines and timer use? –What do you know so far? CG requirement –Do you understand the requirement Are you utilizing high voltage?

20. 2011 CoDR Design Overview: Shared Can Logistics 20 Who are you sharing with? –Summary of your partner’s mission (1 line) Plan for collaboration –How do you communicate? –How will you share designs (solidworks, any actual fit checks before next June)? Structural interface – will you be joining with standoffs or something else (again, be wary of clearance)? grandpmr.com

21. 2011 CoDR Management 21 Team organization chart Preliminary schedule for the semester Monetary budget Team mentors (industry, faculty)? Don’t let the schedule sneak up on you!

22. 2011 CoDR Restate mission Issues, concerns, any questions Plan for where you will take your design from here? –Anything you need to investigate further? –Are you ready make subsystem and lower level requirements to come up with a rough-draft design for PDR? Conclusion 22
