Team Name Round 2 Flight Readiness Review (this is a bare-bones template – reorder the slides and/or make it fancier if you wish, but be sure to address at least the items listed here) (speak for 8-10 minutes – don’t go long but if you are short add more content) (share the speaking time approximately equally, even if that means that not everyone does the same # of slides) (bring your rocket to show off, but don’t let it be distracting – perhaps have the av-bay open since it is central to this talk) (learn from oral presentation feedback you’ve received in the past) Team Members Full Names Class Number and Name Date Meaningful photograph or graphic

Round 2 Introduction Introduce your Round 2 rocket to your peers (i.e. people who have built rockets themselves). Show a labeled diagram (at least one, possibly from OpenRocket or possibly hand-drawn) of your Round 2 rocket and have your real rocket in hand too (even if not completely done). Mention, either here or later, your CP, CG, and SM as well as your thrust-to-weight ratio (to ensure a safe lift-off and stable flight).

Parts List & Modifications / Design Include a parts list (mostly for the record – you don’t need to take the time to read through the whole list orally but perhaps point out the main/most-interesting items). Describe substantial design decisions you made. Try to discuss these from scratch, even though other teams may have similar stories to tell. Point out idiosyncrasies, if any, of your Round 2 rocket. Be sure to mention your team’s “unique feature.”

Construction Timeline & Photos Explain the order in which the construction proceeded and the dates you completed major milestones. Comment on how the actual timeline compared to your original plan. Discuss what remains to be done, if anything. Show at least some constructions photos (but not too many – 2 slides of photos, max). If you had to deviate from the construction plan or came up with a unique way to build something, point it out. Note: check-in time with a completely finished Round 2 rocket is noon on Friday, 11/18/15 (new deadline).

Ejection tests Discuss your ejection charge calculations. Don’t forget to take shear pins into consideration! Show photos and/or video of your ejection test(s). Discuss your ejection test results and your plans for the Round 2 flight. Discuss whether or not you will be modifying the built-in motor ejection charge amount. (Note – Cesaroni packs 1.3 grams of black powder in their 38 mm motors and 2.0 grams in their 54 mm motors.) Explain, here or elsewhere, how the parachutes will be protected from ejection charges (potentially explosions coming for two different directions for some parachutes, though not at the same time).

Av-Bay and Instrumentation Talk about the instrumentation you will have on-board during the flight, why you are flying it, and where the items will be mounted in the rocket. Altimeter Two (talk about how it will be mounted and handled) Mobius camera (talk about why you mounted it where you mounted it) Personal siren (talk about how it will be mounted and handled) Altimeter (Which type? Wired how? Programmed how?) “Rocket finder” (radio beacon) (see http://www.com-spec.com/rcplane/index.html) gps unit (Which type? Mounted how? Monitored how?) Talk about the av-bay layout and wiring (include your CAD drawing!) and the planned altimeter programming.

Flight Trajectory Predictions Discuss what you expect to happen as the rocket flies with your selected Round 2 motor and programmed altimeter. Identify the key parameters of the flight like apogee height, downrange landing distance, etc, for a variety of wind conditions. Include at least 1 simulation plot screenshot from OpenRocket. What is the manufacturer delay time for your motor? Discuss whether or not you will be grinding it down and if so, how much. Note: Delay time is defined to be “how long after burnout” not “how long after launch.”

Cost and Weight Budget Include a parts/budget table for your Round 2 rocket, indicating which parts were provided and which parts were new. Include weight and price (and, perhaps, size and vendor as well). Report a total weight and a total cost (new cost and actual cost).

Team Organization Draw an organizational chart for Round 2 – this is an artistic figure (of sorts) – not just a table, not just a list. When you present this slide, have each team member speak individually (briefly) about their role(s). Indicate explicitly who will be attending the Round 2 launch and doing what. Remember to assign at least one person to take photos/video at that event. We need at least 3 people (and preferably more) from each team to attend and be responsible for launching (and recovering) the rocket.
