Request for Payload Fall 2014 Innovative System Project for the Increased Recruitment of Emerging STEM Students
Scope of Work: Challenge • Design an autonomous science payload for a UAH-designed spacecraft • Determine the purpose (objective) of science payload • Understand engineering design process • Work on a team to communicate the payload design to evaluation board
Scope of Work: Requirements and Constraints • Europa Jupiter System Mission shall provide • 5 kg of mass • Continuous power onboard the spacecraft • Volume of 44 cm by 24 cm by 28 cm • Access to their data delivery system • Spacecraft internal temperature of 294 K (70°F) • InSPIRESS Teams Requirements and Responsibilities • Must deploy (autonomous) • Survive external environments • No harm to UAH spacecraft • Document payload design & community engagement • Europa Jupiter System Mission Constraints • Europa, Jupiter, or interplanetary space of trajectory • Orbiter, lander, or combination
Scope of Work:Europa CubeSat Study • NASA JPL is interested in studying how CubeSats could be used at Europa • Any team using a CubeSat will have their PCP and FR sent to NASA for further review • No extra points – but pretty cool nonetheless • CubeSats: • www.cubesat.org • Wikipeida
Format Guidelines • Documents • 1 inch margins • No smaller than 12 pt. Times New Roman for main text • No smaller than 8 pt.

Payload Status Review (PSR) • Interface Control Document (ICD) • Outlines the requirements and responsibilities between the UAH and InSPIRESS teams • Project Requirements • Science Requirements • Functional Requirements • Environmental Requirements • Document – no page limit (but don’t get crazy) • Use template • Due September 26th • Signed by all stakeholders
Payload Status Review (PSR) • Community Engagement Activity Plan (CEAP) • Outlines the InSPIRESSteam’s plan for the CEA • Define activity • Location (where it will occur) • How publicized • Expected attendance • Expected accomplishments • Supplies • Schedule • Document (no page limit) • Use template • Due Sept 26th • Signed by all stakeholders
