2004 Student Launch Initiative Memorandum of Agreement This
is a Memorandum of Agreement between the students of the A&M Student
Launch Initiative and the Alabama Space Grant Consortium, ASGC, for the new
program beginning June 2004. The
objectives of the program and the schedule are outlined below. OBJECTIVE: Design, build, launch and recover
a hybrid rocket system, to achieve measured altitude of 10,000ft as closely
as possible, which includes a deployed stage that returns to base or to some
pre-determined geographical position, and/or performs some defined aerial
maneuver. GOALS: 1) Refurbish,
or rebuild hybrid rocket, to achieve measured altitude of 10,000ft as closely
as possible. 2) Design
upper stage to be deployed at apogee and returnable to predetermined
position, and/or to execute a defined maneuver. 3) Incorporate
a measurement system in the upper stage for some defined purpose. Record or
transmit that data. Analyze and present that data. TASKS: 1)
Design vehicle:
determine changes need to be made on previous vehicle 2)
Design upper stage including controls and measurement 3)
Measure thrust profile of the actual propulsion system 4)
Review design with oversight board (includes preliminary
design review (PDR), critical design review, CDR) and flight readiness review
(FRR) 5)
Fly vehicle 6)
Final report SCHEDULE: 1)
Measure thrust profile: July 2004 2)
PDR:
End of July 2004 3)
Build Vehicle and test: July-Nov 2004 4)
CDR: Oct 2004 5)
FRR: Feb 2005 6)
Flight: Mar: 2005 7)
Report: Apr 2005 |
