2. Rocket Flight Stability Rocket Flight Stability in Rocksim
Thrust to weight motor selection in flight simulation
3. Rail Exit Velocity Rocksim analysis, 6” Diam, 339oz loaded with K325, 10’ rail:
Departure Vel=44.5 ft/sec
Minimum vel for Stable flight=43ft/sec
4. Parachute Sizes and Descent Rate Four parachutes:
1 36” drogue chute
1 36” nose cone chute
1 36” capsule chute
1 70” main chute
5. Test Plans and Procedures Robot: Pilot practicing control via radio/video link
Pitot tube: 220MPH leafblower test
BP ejection test
CO2 ejection test
Flight video: trying to integrate into bay
6. Scale Model Flight Test ˝ Scale model flew successfully, with Video!
Rocket graveyard Lake
Payload pod ejected successfully
7. Dual Deployment of Avionics Test Dual Avionics Payload
Aft: Black Powder
Fore: Carbon dioxide (for low temperature, noncorrosive gasses on robot.
Dual, redundant altimeters for maximum flight safety.
8. Ejection Charge Amount Test-CO2 Forward Section Ejection
Components of CO2-Rouse-Tech
9. Ejection Charge Amount Test-BP Aft Section Black Powder Ejection Charge Body Dia. Squared =X1
X1 x Length of Open Body Dia. = X2 then…
X2 x .006 = # grams of 4F Black Powder
10. Nosecone Pitot payload Circuit integrated fully into nosecone
˝” Plywood Flange epoxied & screwed in nosecone
5 bolts hold bulkhead to flange
Offset center for ease of reaching switches
Hose from sensor to steel Pitot tube
11. Nosecone Pitot circuit Same circuit as last year
Tube to Hose to Sensor to Data Logger
Data downloaded to Laptop PC, Excel
Calibration via 220MPH blower
12. Mission Commander Team Orion is honored to have a passenger!
Gumby’s safety is mission critical
Will have backpack parachute for safety
Seat-belted into unused area in nosecone
13. Altimeter Payload Bay All fiberglass for maximum strength
Double-thickness bulkplates
2 x Ľ” threaded rods hold it together
Two redundant altimeters (Missileworks and Ozark)
14. Altimeter Bay Deployment Black powder for aft deployment, redundant, cartridges bolt to aft bulk plate
CO2 for fore deployment, redundant, Rouse Tech., bolted to fore bulk plate
Pyrodex combustion forces piston pin into CO2 cartridge
15. SRV-1Robot- “Scorpio” Capsule First basic design of capsule
First modified design of Capsule
Final design of Capsule in airframe
16. Payload Assembly All components of the capsule
Robot’s G force frame support
17. Payload Integration Feasibility Capsule in airframe
Fitting the door
18. Conclusion Team Orion’s project coming together!
