1. Lunar Lander Project Patrick Thurston and David Cobler

2. Problem Design and build Lunar Landing gear for a small cube-satellite. Design and build latching system to hold the lunar lander section to the thruster. Design and build a testing apparatus for the landing gear.

3. Solution Design the landing gear to deploy once with no self-retracting capbability. Use ultra lightweight and super strong Carbon-Epoxy for construction. Use nylon line for latching the cube-sat to the thruster. Design and build a testing apparatus to repeatedly test and monitor simulated landings.

4. Technical Details The landing gear must be mounted on the exterior of the cube-sat with minimal clearances and must remain as light weight as possible. Carbon-Epoxy composite was chosen for it’s superior Yield Stress/Density.
