Mechanical Design of ROAR Krystal Mike, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering Dr. Phil Christensen, Mentor, School of Earth and Space Exploration Arizona State University * NASA Space Grant * 2009-2010
Background • Daedalus • Is a student run organization who design, manufacture, and launch sounding rockets. • NASA USLI Competition • Scientic Experiment • ASU/NASA Space Grant Robotics Team • Work together to come up with a Scientic Experiment
Project Details • Design, Build, and Test a Robot • Withstand the harsh environments of taking off in a rocket. • Survive impact as it lands back to Earth. • Has to beable to maneuver once it lands. • While recording scientific data. • Has to be completed and tested before the launch.
ROAR (Robot On A Rocket) • Design • SolidWorks isometric view of just the body with no components • Current machined Aluminum body
Spring Mechisnism • Top view of ROAR • Stage 1 in the rocket: springs are compressed. • Stage 2 after landing: Springs are un- compressed to maximize stability
Goals • Complete the final designs of ROAR. • Start machining other components. • Construct simulation props for testing. • Test/analyze complete robot system. Accomplishments • Concept solution to the challenge. • Parts selected and ordered. • Met all robot requirements and constrains. • Had fun along the way while learning and thinking outside the box.
