ASUSatellite Laboratory ASCEND Alex Negrete
Overview • UAV Design Process • Team Management
Design Process Conceptual Design • Establish Objectives • Simple Layout/Configuration • Brainstorm • Trade Study • Components • Manufacturing Techniques • Experience
Design Process Preliminary Design • Sizing Glider • Dimensions of components • Aerodynamic surfaces Detailed Design • Prototype Manufacturing • Test • Evaluate
Design Process Identify Problem and Constraints Identify Possible Solutions Redesign Test and Evaluate Select Approach Construct Prototype
Team • Interns 7-9 • Volunteers 7-10 • Undergraduate • Limited Mentoring
Team Management Project Goal: • Optimize Student learning • Team work • Meetings • Setting objectives • Long term • Short term • Creating Subsystems • Leadership Positions • Schedule • Deadlines
Long Term Objectives Deployable Scientific UAV • Autonomous • Record scientific data • Foldable wings Figure from http://marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov/
Short Term Objectives • Design/Build a glider • Follow a limited flight path • Single control (elevator) • Stable glide • Design/Build a Payload • Collect scientific data • Analyze/Study flight path and behavior of glider
Subsystems and Leaders Alex Adam Jose Seth Mechanical Aero Manufacturing Electrical Cutoff Avionics Avionics Comm Tom Aric Wellington Wing Fuselage Structure
Difficulties • Motivation • No GPA • Senioritis • ASCEND requirements already met • School as top priority
