Safety ► The safety officer for the entire team is Maia Madrid. ► During launch we will follow NAR safety rules and regulations. ► We will follow standard shop safety guidelines. ► We will follow MSDS recommendations. ► Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be available and used. ► Tools and materials will be handled safely and appropriately.

Vehicle Mission Statement, Requirements, and Success Criteria ► Our mission  Launch rocket close but not exceeding 1 mi. ► Requirements ► Success of mission  Payload close but not exceeding 1 mi.  Safely bring payload to earth under dual parachutes

Vehicle Design at System Level ► Fin assembly  Motor mount ► Recovery system  Avionics ► Overall airframes  Rail buttons ► Payload bay ► Nose cone

Vehicle Risk Mitigations RiskProbabilityMitigation Black powder ignites prematurely during testing LowMake sure ignition sources are not primed when handling the charges Two few personnel on hand to build the rockets LowMake sure we have enough before hand and it there are not enough, find more people Run out of moneyLowMake sure we have enough money before we buy the parts Motor flies through rocketLowTake extra time to carefully epoxy. We will also always have another person watching our work Damage in shipping to HuntsvilleLowCarefully pack and protect the rocket before shipping Loss of a fin during launchLowCarefully epoxy the fins while making sure you use enough epoxy. Also always have another person watching you work Parts don’t fitLowSand down if too large, and make sure you ordered the right parts. Run out of paint during painting session Mid-lowMake sure we have more than enough paint on hand. Mis-measure parts when cuttingLowMake sure there are two people working on the measuring, and measure multiple times No place to build our rocketLowWe will find a place to build at least three weeks before the build starts

Recovery Overview ► Launch vehicle is designed for dual deployment. ► Apogee and main events controlled by RRC 2 Mini and Aim Altimeters. ► Apogee deployment 24 inch rip stop nylon drogue chute with shock cord. ► Main deployment 84 inch rip stop nylon parachute with shock cord.

Recovery Safety ► Verify proposed parachutes and streamer performance in rocket simulation software. ► Test deployment and parachute/streamer selection in launch vehicle under motors with less thrust. ► Test ejection charges. ► Verify altimeter performance and ability to light proposed ejection charges. ► Test payload while bench testing with parachute.

Payload Changes ► Keeping steady pressure through tubes vs. simulating the pumping of the heart ► Testing effects of entire rocket flight vs. just atmospheric pressure ► Running each tube once throughout the same environment vs. using loops

Payload Overview ► Observe effects of rocket flight on three different simulations of blood pressure in veins. ► Use tubing, a pump, simulated human environment, pressure sensors, and a blood product. ► Use different size tubes, since Pressure = Force/Area. ► Record pressure on ascent, at apogee, and on descent.  On ascent: atmospheric change, G-forces  At apogee: microgravity, atmospheric pressure  On descent: atmospheric change, airframe movement

Payload Safety ► Safety officer of the payload group is Abby Dewane. ► Risks Mitigations in slide below ► Hazards ► Environmental concerns:  Blood  Battery
