  1. University of Wyoming Charles Galey, Nicholas Roder, Peter J. Jay, William Ryan 10/14/2009

  2. Objectives • Track rocket flight parameters • Wirelessly retrieve data post flight • Generate and store power needed for the flight/recovery • Gather information about the power generated

  3. Goals • Engineer systems which may be used in future RockSat projects • Model flight of rocket from flight data • Correlate data collection to flight conditions • Gain real-world system design experience

  4. Science Background • Quantification of varying flight conditions • Acquisition of radio signals • Inductance power generation

  5. Mission Requirements • Track rocket location using GPS • Correlate GPS power and accelerometer data • Wireless data retrieval – post flight • Power • Generation • Characterization • Analysis • Correlate GPS, power, and accelerometer data

  6. Success Criteria • No mechanical or electrical system failures • GPS tracks flight trajectory • Data successfully stored • Data successfully retrieved wirelessly post flight • Power generated throughout flight

  7. Benefits • Efficient Payload Power • Generate power required during flight • Reduce the number of batteries required • Increase weight available for experiments • Future RockSat teams • Accurate data to model flight and predict flight conditions and length • Retrieve data wirelessly to avoid rocket recovery delay

  8. Design • Required Hardware • GPS chip • 3-Axis Accelerometers (2) • Radio modem • Generator • DC motor • Gyroscope • Voltmeter/Ammeter Payload Layout Processing/ Wireless Accelerometers/GPS Power System

  9. Design: Block Diagram

  10. Design • Power Concept Drawing

  11. RockSat Payload Canister User Guide Compliance • Mass, Volume • Estimate 6.5 lbs • Payload activation? • G-switch activation • Open circuit until required G-load • Rocket Interface • Shorting wires

  12. Shared Can Logistics Plan • University of Wyoming (UW ) and University of Minnesota (UMN) • UW missions • Track flight and model with data collected • Wirelessly retrieve data post flight • Generate power needed for experiments during flight • UMN mission • Laser and Visual Spectroscopy • Camera experiment

  13. Shared Can Logistics Plan • Plan for collaboration on interfacing • Email • Online file server • Teleconference

  14. Management

  15. Management • Schedule • See Attachment • Budget • Mass (6.5lbs) • Power System (4.5 lbs) • Sensors/GPS (2 lbs) • Monetary Budget • $600
