4. Outline Project Description Customer Needs Concept Design Technical Risk Assessment Mitigation Budget MSDII Schedule

5. Project Mission A recovery system for the instrumentation platform from approximately 100,000 feet Ability to be controlled either remotely or autonomously Safe controlled descent to a designated area.

6. Customer Needs Controlled Descent Land in a designated Safe Zone Land within an allowable velocity and impact Carry the payload of 8 lbs Production Cost of $1000 Reasonable Weight Safety

7. Customer Needs Translation Auto-Pilot system Parachute Deployment System Strong Fuselage Structure Reusability reduces production cost Lightweight Structure Warning System

8. Concept RELEASE: Glider is released from balloon, This happens regardless of rocket launch. DROP: Produce lift and decrease altitude. RETURN: Reduce the distance from launch site LANDING: Deploy Parachute, float toward safe zone, compensating for wind. Note: Drawing not to scale.

17. Parachute Deployment System Total Production Cost: $29.53 Line Length : 10 feet Material: Ripstop Nylon Weight:.5 lbs Manufacture in Aerospace Lab

18. Warning System Loudness: 110dB Power: a 9 volt alkaline battery Weight: Very Light High Contrast Color Metallic Paint

19. Technical Risk Assessment Risk:  The effects on the glider due to the cold temperatures of high altitude  Water damage to composites if there is a wet landing  Due to the complex shape of the fuselage and the nature of composites, the only way predict how the fuselage would react to different structural loads  Servos Fail  Sensors Fail  Warning System Fails

20. Technical Risk Assessment Proposed Mitigation:  Use E-glass fiber which has been used at high altitudes for other successful high altitude glider flights  Poly Epoxy states that it has chemical and water resistance  Do sample layouts of the composite and perform tensile and burn testing with ANSY simulation  If heading angle deviates significantly, parachute is deployed  If navigation fail, the glider enters deep stall mode and deploys parachute  If Siren fails, glider colors will stand out from ideal Blue Sky / Cloudy Conditions

21. Cost & Weight of the Glider CategoryBudgetWeight/lbs Wing (Servos included) $250.49 4 Tail (Servos included) $348.461.4 Fuselage $1104 Electronics $478.451.5 Parachute deployment system $29.530.5 Warning System $47.500.1 Total $1,264.4311.5

22. Current State of the Design Design meets all customer needs On target to meet project budget of $5000 Over the target for production cost of $1000 per launch Mitigations:  Reusability  Survivability
