1. Project Introduction Spring 2016

2. InSPIRESS Challenge 2 Design an autonomous science payload for the Titan Environmental and Atmospheric Measurement (TEAM) Mission – Determine the purpose(s), or objective(s) of your scientific payload – Understand, follow, and communicate the engineering design process – Work on a team to communicate your payload design to an evaluation board Conduct Community Engagement Activity (CEA) events in your local community to explain your mission – Organize and conduct events that engage the local community in your mission – Provide proof of these events – Gather data on the events’ audiences – Communicate the results of these events to an external review board

3. Payload Constraints Mass: Up to 10 kg Mass: Up to 10 kg Volume: 44 cm x 24 cm x 28 cm Volume: 44 cm x 24 cm x 28 cm Survive environment Survive environment No harm to the main spacecraft No harm to the main spacecraft 3 44 cm 24 cm 28 cm

7. Your Design Job Select a science objective for your payload Develop a logical flow (called a Science Traceability Matrix) that shows the link between the science objective and the instruments needed to provide the data to meet the objective Understand the engineering requirements that are imposed on your Payload – UAH constraints, environments, functions, and science Understand the different design options for your payload Choose the “best” solution – Define what “best” means Refine design based on physics and engineering analysis – Explain your analysis, assumptions, and decision Provide a prototype of your payload 7

8. Technical Design 8

9. Communicating Your Design Written documents – Payload Concept Proposal (7 pages) Evaluated by UAH IPT students Briefings – Payload Status Review (10 minutes) – Payload Concept Review (20 minutes) – Final Review (20 minutes) Evaluated by local aerospace industry 9

10. Communicating Your Design 10

11. Engaging the Community Team Identity: name, logo, and slogan Create the poster for Open House Poster Session Community Engagement Activity – Plan an event that relates to your project and engages the community – Keep your teacher involved in the planning process – Execute the event, making sure to document and survey the visitors – Submit a summary of your CEA Visitor Survey data Briefings – Give a description of your plan/idea during the Payload Status Review – Give a summary of your activity, with survey results and photos, in the Open House Poster Session, Payload Concept Review and Final Review 11

12. Engaging the Community 12 “Field” Testing and demonstrations that influences engineering design “Parents’ Nights” (with demonstrations, presentations, etc) Presenting to other students

13. Providing Team Leadership Keep the team motivated and on task Develop and continue to update a schedule of the project Understand all project requirements Understand all competition rules and procedures Understand all evaluation criteria for each review and deliverable Make sure all deliverables are submitted on time 13

14. Titan Environmental and Atmospheric Measurement (TEAM) Mission 14 Orbiter – 1000 km altitude – Circular orbit – Lifetime of 20 months Balloon – 10 km altitude – Lifetime of 6 months – Moved by winds – Wind and atmospheric data provided in Excel file Lake Lander – Floating on Kraken Mare – 200 km from shore – Lifetime of 30 days
