Section 1: Mission Overview Mission Statement Mission Objectives Section 2: The Payload! User’s Guide Compliance Beta Prototype Testing Section 3: Check-In Readiness Plans for Integration Documentation 2
4
Develop and test a system that will use piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical vibrational energy into electrical energy to trickle charge on-board power systems. 4
5
Demonstrate feasibility of power generation via piezoelectric effect under Terrier-Orion flight conditions Determine optimal piezoelectric material for energy conversion in this application Classify relationships between orientation of piezoelectric actuators and output voltage Data will benefit future RockSAT and CubeSAT missions as a potential source of power 5
