1. Launch Readiness Review
Temple University
Fred Avery, Ny’jaa Bobo, Gene Council and Salvatore Giorgi 05/27/2012

2. Mission Overview
Measure the earth’s magnetic field as a function of altitude
Measure flight dynamics of the rocket
Capture biological samples in the atmosphere
Identify types and concentration of samples as function of altitude
Measure UV intensity as function of altitude
Identify UV damaged DNA in samples
Figure: A UV radiation induced thymine-thymine cyclobutane dimer (right) is the type of DNA damage which is undone by photolyase.

3. Final Payload Figures : Fully Constructed/Integrated Payload
(Top and Side Views)

4. Final Payload Payload is fully integrated
All parts are situated properly and comfortably
A small amount of space remains to add extra weight
Both filtration system and electrical system function properly

5. User Guide Compliance Requirement Payload Requirement Status
Mass allotment:
6.5 lbs (20 lbs total)
5.7 lbs
Volume allotment:
9.3” (dia.), 4.75” (ht.)
9.3”, 4.5”
The payload’s center of gravity (CG):
In 1”X1”X1” envelope of centroid (or in area designated for sharing teams?
1”X0.91”X0.94”
Activation met under requirement: (either 1.SYS.1 or 1.SYS.2)
1.SYS.2
Still in Progress
Structure mounts:
Top and bottom bulkheads. No mounts to sides of cans.
5 bulkheads for top/ bottom
Sharing:
Fully developed?
Yes

6. Integration Plan and Procedure
Payload integration is almost fully completed
Payloads will be connected by using five standoffs
Working with West Virginia University on atmospheric port issues
Will T off near their canister since they are closer to the slide
Need to determine the type of fittings and tubing WVU is using
Integration procedure is currently being finalized and documented
Integration procedure is documented step by step
This will allow the integration process to be rapid while at WFF

7. Integration Plan and Procedure
Mass allotment
Combined weight for both payloads is approximately 6.75 lbs (without additional weight)
With additional weight, payload is 8 lbs
Spare weight will be added to meet weight requirement
Payload with added weight is approximately 6 lbs
Volume allotment
Diameter of payload is 9.3” and the height is 4.5”
Combined height is approximately 9.5” between both canisters
Spacers will be included to fulfill requirement
Activation met under requirement
Still in progress (1.SYS.2)
First priority to be completed by the beginning of this week
Sharing
Both Temple and Drexel Payloads are compatible and nearly ready for integration

8. Integration Plan and Procedure
Combined Payloads (Temple and Drexel)
Combined COG: x: -1.32”, y: 2.04”, z: 2.10”

9. Testing Results Leak Problem has been resolved
Teflon tape, electrical tape, and silicon grease prevents leak
Collection of aerosols will no longer be affected
All other tests and simulations remain valid
No further testing is needed until arrival to the Wallops Flight Facility
Payload is deemed safe to fly
All Simulations and tests prove payload will be durable and safe during flight

10. Level of Readiness Filter System completed Spectrometer completed
Activation system needs some work.
First priority this week.
Status of sensors
All sensors are functioning with the exception of the xy accelerometer and gyroscope
These sensors are not essential to the flight
Integration with Drexel
Integration is set and planned, alignment of screw holes is needed and integration will be completed
Standoffs are compatible and volume requirement is met
Center of Gravity Requirement
Center of Gravity requirement needs work between both payloads but individual center of gravity requirement is met (see user’s guide compliance)
Weight Requirement
Current weight is 6 lbs (alone) however, the additional metal added will allow requirement to be accomplished

11. Level of Readiness Action Items
Add additional weight to payload to meet weight requirement
Follow up with Drexel and re-evaluate requirements and integrate to make sure everything is properly integrated and met
Sterilize all parts and conceal them in order to prepare for travel to Virginia
Gather all items needed to bring to the Wallops Flight Facility
Assure all requirements are achieved before departure from Temple University
