High Altitude Rocket Project School of Science and Engineering | Integrated Project Mjölnir

Overview Lunch and recovery of a high altitude level 3 Rocket –Selected Launch location Mýrdalssandur –Flight altitude 6,0 – 6,7 km –Launch windows – Innovation –Development of a self guided recovery module For reliable recovery of data and expensive instrumentation Funding –Needed: ISK –Currently Funded ( ): ISK Lecture | Speakers Name [1]

Overview First stage payload –Data Pressure / Altitude, Temperature, Velocity, Acceleration, Pitch / Roll / Yaw, Magnetic Compass –On board camera Go Pro for HD Smartphone streaming video Future payloads –Custom Canon/Nikon camera –4K video –Particulate sensors (ash, pollution) –Gas concentration sensors Lecture | Speakers Name [1]

Rockets and Motors Rebel Space Custom Made Rocket –Diameter 10,2 cm –Length 260 cm –Weight 4,7 kg ProLine Broken Arrow 5 XP Backup Rocket –Diameter 12,7 cm –Length 300 cm –Weight 11 Kg [2] Cesaroni CTI High Power Pro98 4 Grain Rocket Motor –Equivalent thrust 226 kg –Diameter 98 mm –Length 702 mm –Burn time 5,9 sec [3]

Flight simulation Maximum altitude –6,7 km Maximum velocity –570 m/s Maximum acceleration –190 m/s 2

Recovery Recovery Module –Monitors flight data during launch. –Once peak altitude is reached the automotive recovery systems takes control. –Guides the payload to the landing zone with a ram-air parachute. Guidance system –Computer controlled winches direct parachute to pre determined location –Tracks GPS signal [4]

Usage Lower atmosphere / Troposphere research data –Volcanic ash –Air pollution Weather –Atmospheric pressure –Temperatures –Wind Why should people be interested in the project –The highest altitude amateur rocket launch in Iceland –First step to Iceland space exploration
