3. Mission Overview What is your objective? What is your objective? The objective our mission is to build a payload that will create an interest in the program at the Metro State College of Denver This payload is going to take Gyroscopic measurements, acceleration measurements, and digital photographs, and store them for later analysis

4. Mission Overview Cont. What do you expect to prove, discover, or learn from your experiment? We expect to learn how to integrate a payload into the standard payload can as well as integrate with other payloads in the can and rocket body We expect to learn how to integrate a payload into the standard payload can as well as integrate with other payloads in the can and rocket body We expect to learn the behavior of a rocket in flight through the data we receive We expect to learn the behavior of a rocket in flight through the data we receive

5. Mission Overview Cont. Brief overview of underlying science/theory We plan to emulate the payload we learned to build at the RockOn work shop in 2008 with some minimal configuration changes We plan to emulate the payload we learned to build at the RockOn work shop in 2008 with some minimal configuration changes Changes include implementing a set of gyroscopes, and a digital still camera, and media storage

6. Mission Overview Cont. What other related research/experimentation has been done in the past? This payload was built in the DemoSat IV mission as well as built for the RockOn Workshop in 2008 This payload was built in the DemoSat IV mission as well as built for the RockOn Workshop in 2008Results? This mission has produced accurate reliable data in the past, that we used to correlate real time video of the payload using acceleration, gyroscopic motion and mathematics This mission has produced accurate reliable data in the past, that we used to correlate real time video of the payload using acceleration, gyroscopic motion and mathematics

7. Mission Overview Cont. Mission Requirements We only require space to implement our payload in addition to an optical port to take digital still photographs We only require space to implement our payload in addition to an optical port to take digital still photographs Our payload will also need to be as close to the central axis of the vehicle as possible Our payload will also need to be as close to the central axis of the vehicle as possible

8. Mission Overview Cont. Benefits (Who will benefit from your experiment and how?) The overall goal is to use this mission as a pilot to draw attention to the Space Grant program, to build and develop an opportunity that all the students participating in the program can understand how the experience can enhance their career.

The overall goal is to build and develop a program that all the students participating in the program can gain a learning experience from Engineers, scientists and the like that are interested in more accurate behavior of the flight of rockets

10. Design (How will you meet your objective) (Multiple Slides) Required Hardware Parts Parts The parts list is huge, here is brief list, we need one standard RockOn payload, one digital camera, three gyroscopes, two 9 volt batteries, two SD cards, and a myriad of incidentals Drawings Drawings Still in the works, will come soon

11. Design Cont. Command & D.H. Gyros Batteries G Switch Accelerometers Digital Storage Media Camera

12. Mass allotted- 4.25lbs. Estimated mass usage- 2.5lbs including camera and plate Estimated mass usage- 2.5lbs including camera and plate Volume allotted- 416.54” cubed plate 9.2” in Diameter, 1” in height plate 9.2” in Diameter, 1” in height Camera dimensions are 3.71”x 2.53”x1.69” this will require some tricky integration techniques Camera dimensions are 3.71”x 2.53”x1.69” this will require some tricky integration techniques Payload activation? What have you planned for? G switch activation for the camera and for the data collection module G switch activation for the camera and for the data collection module How does it comply with Wallops “no volt” requirement completely completely Rocket Interface Rocket Interface Shorting wires RockSat Payload Canister User Guide Compliance

13. Shared Can Logistics Plan Institutions/Universities in can Institutions/Universities in can Metro State, CSU, and UNC Summary of each mission (one-liner) Summary of each mission (one-liner) Standard power and data payload Water inertial measurement payload Photo and flight behavior payload Plan for collaboration on interfacing Plan for collaboration on interfacing By PDR know relative locations in can There is a meeting planned for November with all the schools for collaboration

17. Conclusions Issues and concerns Issues and concerns We intend to stay on track with the Space Grant schedule provided We also would like to consider using 1/3 of the can size since we are trying to incorporate a camera in the mission Also a little concerned about integration, final placement of the missions inside the can might be a problem. Closing remarks Closing remarks We are excited about the opportunity to launch our project this year, again another unforgettable experience from Space Grant
