4 0 Abstract The Jordan High School Rocketry Team, formerly known as Durham Area Rocketry Team, proposes a project for the 2016 NASA Student Launch (High School). Our experiment this year consists of two parts. We will improve the roll control system from last year s experiment to more effectively stabilize the roll of a rocket, with onboard video cameras to produce videos with little (or pre determined) roll movement. We used a spinning reaction wheel that could counteract the roll through changing the speed of the reaction wheel during flight. The second part of our experiment involves inflating balloons and releasing them from the rocket so that the rocket can be more easily located and retrieved after the completion of a launch. We are inflating a balloon to ease the retrieval of the rocket after it lands due to the fact that the previous rocket landed in a field with limited visibility, causing a great deal of difficulty for the rocket retrieval team. The rocket design will change from last year to accommodate the additional space necessary for the balloons and the changes made to the roll control system. 4

5 1 Organization Information 1.1 Jordan High School Rocketry Team (JHSRT) All the students currently involved in this project are from Charles E. Jordan High School (JHS) in Durham, NC. There is the possibility of a student from the City of Medicine Academy (CMA) is to be involved this year. Plans are in place to invite other students from Durham area schools to participate. In 2014, a Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) team from JHS placed 25th in the finals, enabling Jordan High School to propose a project for the 2015 NASA Student Launch as the Durham Area Rocketry Team (DART). This year, all the students participating at this point are from JHS, hence the team will be named Jordan High School Rocketry Team. JHS is a traditional public high school in the Durham (county) Public Schools system. JHS opened in 1963 and is located in south Durham. It has an enrollment of 1940 students in grades City of Medicine Academy (CMA) is a lottery based magnet school in the Durham Public Schools system. It is a small learning community and national model designed to educate and train students to work in the field of health services and medical care. Located in the heart of Durham s medical district, CMA provides coursework and field opportunities focused on the healthcare industry with an emphasis on rigorous and relevant learning experiences School Mailing Address C.E.

Tripoli East North Carolina hosts regularly scheduled launches in Bayboro, NC (actually in nearby Grantsboro). Tripoli East North Carolina will supply all necessary launch equipment, e.g. launch rails, pads, and controllers. Members of Tripoli East North Carolina will also handle FAA waiver activation and notification at the Bayboro launch site. The site has an FAA waiver to 16,000 ft AGL and about 3000 acres of unobstructed recovery area. Members of Tripoli East North Carolina include multiple TAP members that JHSRT can call on for large rocket expertise. Alternative launch sites include Rocketry of Central Carolina located in Charlotte, NC (Tripoli Prefecture 67 and NAR Section 608) and Rocketry South Carolina located in Orangeburg, SC (Tripoli Prefecture 60 and NAR Section 648). 8

9 2 Facilities and Equipment 2.1 Facilities for Design, Manufacture, and Test Jordan High School Physics Laboratory Due to a generous grant from a private donor, the team will have primary access to power tools and other fabrication equipment at JHS. JHS will also be the primary location for team meetings, design and other activities. The rotational dynamics test stand and support equipment to be used for the ground testing of the reaction wheel system are located at the C.E. Jordan High School Physics Laboratory. Non pyrotechnic testing of components will also be conducted at JHS. The address of the facility is: Charles E. Jordan High School Rooms 302/304 (300 wing) 6806 Garrett Road Durham, NC The facility is primarily used for laboratory instruction in Physics, AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. The lab is available for use in this project after 2:30 PM school days until 11:00 PM, Saturdays from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sundays 12 PM to 5 PM. The building is protected by an intruder alarm which is activated at 11 PM on weekdays, disabled at 6 AM weekdays and is on during the weekends except for the times shown above Ground Reynolds Lab The alternate location for the design, manufacture, and non pyrotechnic tests of rocket and payload components will be the Ground Reynolds Lab at NCSSM. This lab contains three rooms: a classroom, a machine shop area, and an uncommitted work area. The address of this facility is: Room GRL NCSSM 1219 Broad Street Durham, NC The machine shop area contains a drill press, a three axis milling machine, a belt sander, and a band saw. These are the only power tools that we expect will be required. The use of power tools is our only anticipated use of the Ground Reynolds lab machine shop. The uncommitted work area is where we expect to perform most design work and where materials will be stored between meetings. 9

10 The Ground Reynolds lab is also used by the FIRST Robotics Team and North Carolina Science Olympiad Team at NCSSM. All students are trained in power tool use by adult supervisors. Students must sign and have their parents sign a tool use agreement form and have adult supervision to be able to use power tools. The design and construction of the interface between the rocket and scientific payload will occur at JHSRT weekly meetings and will be agreed upon by both the rocket and payload leads. Integration of the rocket components and payload will occur in Ground Reynolds Lab Fabrication Lab Another alternate location for design, manufacture, and test of components is the Fabrication Lab at NCSSM. This lab consists of four rooms: the wood shop, the metal shop, the maker space, and the digital lab. The address for this facility is: Fabrication Lab NCSSM 1219 Broad Street Durham, NC This facility will contain a band saw, drill presses, chop saws, a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Mill, a CNC Router table, table saws, a belt sander, a 3D printer, and a lathe. The fabrication lab will be used for any machining that requires high precision tools. To use the Fabrication Lab students must take a training course for each tool. These training courses will be designed and conducted by NCSSM faculty. In addition to completing the training courses students must also submit the aforementioned tool use form and be under adult supervision to use any of the tools in the Fabrication Lab. The Fabrication Lab will be available to the team, provided the above safety conditions are met. JHSRT will be in contact with the Fabrication Lab supervisors to ensure that tools are available for our use. The hours of meetings, beginning in October, when JHSRT expects to begin rocket airframe construction, are: Monday Friday: 6:00 PM 8:00 PM Saturday: 1:00 PM 3:00 PM which provide ample opportunities for construction in our anticipated time frame. 10

11 The accurate computer controlled tools in the Fabrication Lab will be most useful for the construction of the payload. The weighted flywheel of the payload will have to be perfectly balanced to avoid damage to the payload and the rocket. This level of precision can be ensured through the use of CNC machinery. The computer controlled tools can also be used to fabricate rocket components such as bulkheads, centering rings, nose cones, electronic platforms, and fins Mr. Morey s Garage A backup location for the design, manufacture, and test of components is the rocketry mentor s garage. This facility serves as a backup to Ground Reynolds Lab and Fabrication Lab. The address of this facility is: 6817 Huntingridge Road Chapel Hill, NC The hours of availability of this facility are: Monday Friday: Evenings Saturday Sunday: 10:00 AM 5:00 PM However, JHSRT will need to give approximately 36 hours of lead time to the rocketry mentor, Mr. Morey, before holding a construction meeting at this facility. JHSRT can also perform black powder charge tests in Mr. Morey s back yard Bahama Launch Site JHSRT has access to a local (to Durham) launch site in Bahama, NC. It is owned by Mr. Mike Waters and is used by local TARC teams for testing and qualification flights. FAA Class 1 flights can be flown at this location South Lowell Road Bahama, NC The field is available from late October until late April. Rockets can be flown to about 1500 feet AGL. Mr. Morey supervises launches from this site. JHSRT can test the subscale rocket (if it meets Class 1 limits) from this site as well as perform black powder charge tests and GPS transmitter tests. The site is approximately half a mile in the shortest dimension. 11

12 2.1.6 Tripoli East North Carolina Launch Site Launch testing of the full scale rocket will occur at the Tripoli East North Carolina launch site near Bayboro, NC. Tripoli East North Carolina will supply all necessary launch equipment, e.g. launch rails, pads, and controllers, and will handle FAA waiver activation and notification at the Bayboro launch site. The waiver is to 16,000 ft AGL. The site is about 3000 acres of unobstructed farmland. Launches occur at least once a month on weekends. The address of this launch site is: 248 Paul Farm Road Grantsboro, NC Personnel JHSRT does not anticipate the need for any outside contractors or assistance from personnel not affiliated with the team NASA Teleconferences JHSRT will utilize the conference rooms located within the Jordan High School Media Center for holding teleconferences with NASA. These rooms provide sufficient space as well as technological equipment to hold these teleconference Equipment JHSRT anticipates the need for various power tools, hand tools, electrical test equipment such as a multimeter and a temperature controlled soldering iron. Due to a generous grant from a private donor, JHS will have these items available for the team on site at JHS Supplies JHSRT believes that it will have need for the following supplies and hazardous substances. MSDSs for these supplies are reproduced in Appendix E: MSDSs. JB Weld high temperature epoxy Z Poxy 30 minute Epoxy West Marine Weld Resin West Marine Weld Hardener Thin cyanoacrylate glue Bondo Putty: AeroTech propellant Magnelite Igniters: Ejection charge igniters Ejection charge black powder Spray Paint 12

13 Alkaline batteries Lithium polymer batteries GPS Radio module Lead Free Solder Computer Equipment All team members have access to a computer with at least the Windows 7 operating system. The team members and the educators/mentor are communicating through Google Groups and shared Google Documents. CAD software available to the team includes OpenRocket, Cadsoft Eagle, SketchUp, and SolidWorks. We will be using CAD software, such as SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor, to design parts that we can 3D print with a 3D printer or mill with a CNC milling machine. When we finish designing the parts, we will save them as a.stl file and transfer them to the CAM software specific to the 3D printer and CNC milling machine we will be using. From there, we can scale the part to size, orient it properly, and print it. It is anticipated that a 3D printer may be needed for this design, which due to a generous private donation, will be available at JHS. A CNC milling machine is available at either NCSSM, or from NC State University. Raven3 altimeters will be used to collect data about the altitude. The Featherweight Interface Program will be used to analyze and record data obtained from the Raven3 altimeters. A Big Red Bee GPS transmitter will be used to collect data from the rocket s flight path. BeeFlash version 11 will be used to analyze the data obtained from the Big Bee GPS transmitters. Software appropriate for use with the microprocessor we use for the reaction wheel payload controller will be needed. This includes compilers and linkers as well as programming tools. It is anticipated that all of the above software can be used on laptops owned by the team members. At least two team laptops (one for backup) with the necessary software and hardware connections for flight operations will be needed at each launch EIT Accessibility Standards Compliance JHSRT will ensure that members with disabilities will have equal access to information and data as required in the EIT Accessibility Standards. Currently, no members have declared a disability. 13

14 3 Safety 3.1 Team Safety Plan Safety is JHSRT s number one priority for the design, construction, and launch of our rocket. Refer to Appendix C for Team Safety Contracts. Emma Jaynes, a student, has been selected to function as the Safety Officer for the team substructure to cooperate with the NAR mentor, Dave Morey. Both individuals will coordinate NAR High Power Safety Code compliance for each phase of JHSRT during our launch initiative participation: design, construction, and launch. Other responsibilities include briefing team members on safety practices before and after meetings, posting relevant equipment and materials safety information in all workshop facilities, and ensuring safe curation of all equipment and materials over the duration of the project. Safe handling of potentially dangerous materials such as black powder ejection charges will be ensured by requiring that the NAR mentor, Dave Morey, handle all dangerous materials. The team will be operating in four main facilities: Jordan High School Physics Laboratory, the Ground Reynolds Lab, Mr. Morey s Garage, and The Fabrication Lab (see Section for fire safety diagrams for operating facilities). More details on risk assessment and mitigation evaluations can be found in the following sections NAR High Power Safety Code We will brief participating students on hazard recognition and accident avoidance by requiring that they review the NAR High Power Safety Code and sign an agreement confirming their understanding of the code. It is reproduced here with commentary in italics regarding how JHSRT will abide by each of the rules. 1. Certification: I will only fly high power rockets or possess high power rocket motors that are within the scope of my user certification and required licensing. We will not use a motor beyond that allowed by the Level 2 High Power Rocketry certification of our team rocketry mentor, Dave Morey (see Appendix A: Resumes ). 2. Materials: I will use only lightweight materials such as paper, wood, rubber, plastic, fiberglass, or when necessary ductile metal, for the construction of my rocket. We will use only safe, lightweight materials for rocket construction, including phenolic like tubes, composite fin construction, plywood and plastic. Metal will only be used for connectors that need high strength and for the reaction wheel, which must be high density (see Section 4.1.a: Projected Vehicle Dimensions). 14

15 3. Motors: I will use only certified, commercially made rocket motors, and will not tamper with these motors or use them for any purposes except those recommended by the manufacturer. I will not allow smoking, open flames, or heat sources within 25 feet of these motors. We will read and abide by the safety recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the certified motor we choose to use (see Section 4.1.d: Projected Motor Type and Size ). Our team rocketry mentor, Dave Morey, will handle and store the motors and keep them in a safe environment. 4. Ignition System: I will launch my rockets with an electrical launch system, and with electrical motor igniters that are installed in the motor only after my rocket is at the launch pad or in a designated prepping area. My launch system will have a safety interlock that is in series with the launch switch that is not installed until my rocket is ready for launch, and will use a launch switch that returns to the "off" position when released. The function of onboard energetics and firing circuits will be inhibited except when my rocket is in the launching position. We will not install motor igniters until the rocket is in a launch ready configuration (altimeters armed) on the launch pad in the upright position. We will use an electric launch system that complies with each of the safety requirements outlined above. All of the launch equipment used by Mr. Morey and the local clubs have multiple arming switches and a momentary contact switch for launching. Recovery altimeters will not be armed until the rocket is upright on the launch pad and can be disabled before removing the rocket from the pad. 5. Misfires: If my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery, and will wait 60 seconds after the last launch attempt before allowing anyone to approach the rocket. We will have a comprehensive safety checklist that complies with these requirements for use in case of a misfire. 6. Launch Safety: I will use a 5 second countdown before launch. I will ensure that a means is available to warn participants and spectators in the event of a problem. I will ensure that no person is closer to the launch pad than allowed by the accompanying Minimum Distance Table. When arming onboard energetics and firing circuits I will ensure that no person is at the pad except safety personnel and those required for arming and disarming operations. I will check the stability of my rocket before flight and will not fly it if it cannot be determined to be stable. When conducting a simultaneous launch of more than one high power rocket I will observe the additional requirements of 15

16 NFPA We will have a 5 second countdown at the launch site before launch. We will know and understand the launch safety procedures at the launch sites in Bahama, Bayboro and Huntsville and be sure there is a system in place to warn participants and spectators of any problem that may occur during launch. Before the launch, we will check rocket stability using an OpenRocket calculation of the CP and an actual measurement of the CG. We will also execute a launch safety checklist prior to launch. 7. Launcher: I will launch my rocket from a stable device that provides rigid guidance until the rocket has attained a speed that ensures a stable flight, and that is pointed to within 20 degrees of vertical. If the wind speed exceeds 5 miles per hour I will use a launcher length that permits the rocket to attain a safe velocity before separation from the launcher. I will use a blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground. I will ensure that dry grass is cleared around each launch pad in accordance with the accompanying Minimum Distance table, and will increase this distance by a factor of 1.5 and clear that area of all combustible material if the rocket motor being launched uses titanium sponge in the propellant. Launch pads used to Mr. Morey and the local clubs all have a stable launch guidance device (1010 or 1515 rails), blast deflector, and other requirements. We will also include the requirements for a safe launch site in our pre launch safety checklist, and will check the site and conditions to ensure they comply with these requirements. 8. Size: My rocket will not contain any combination of motors that total more than 40,960 N sec (9208 pound seconds) of total impulse. My rocket will not weigh more at liftoff than one third of the certified average thrust of the high power rocket motor(s) intended to be ignited at launch. We will design and build our rocket to and only use a single motor that does not exceed 2,560 N sec total impulse as specified by NASA. Our rocket weight is approximately 20 pounds, at most one fifth of the certified average thrust of the motors we will choose (see Section 4.1.a: Projected Vehicle Dimensions ). 9. Flight Safety: I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, near airplanes, nor on trajectories that take it directly over the heads of spectators or beyond the boundaries of the launch site, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket. I will not launch my rockets if wind speeds exceed 20 miles per hour. I will comply with Federal Aviation Administration airspace regulations when flying, and will ensure that my rocket will not exceed any applicable altitude limit in effect at that launch site. We will only launch our rocket on a safe, clear trajectory. Our rocket will contain a safe non explosive payload (see Section 4.1.e: Projected Payload Description ). We will check 16

17 conditions, especially wind speed and precipitation, before launch, and ensure they are acceptable launch conditions. 10. Launch Site: I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area where trees, power lines, occupied buildings, and persons not involved in the launch do not present a hazard, and that is at least as large on its smallest dimension as one half of the maximum altitude to which rockets are allowed to be flown at that site or 1500 feet, whichever is greater, or 1000 feet for rockets with a combined total impulse of less than 160 N sec, a total liftoff weight of less than 1500 grams, and a maximum expected altitude of less than 610 meters (2000 feet). We will create a launch safety checklist that complies with the requirements for launch site safety and ensure each site where we launch meets all of those requirements. The Bahama launch site is about 2500 feet in the shortest dimension. The Bayboro launch site has 2500 feet of safety setback between it and the nearest building. Both launch sites are free of trees, power lines, and other obstructions. 11. Launcher Location: My launcher will be 1500 feet from any occupied building or from any public highway on which traffic flow exceeds 10 vehicles per hour, not including traffic flow related to the launch. It will also be no closer than the appropriate Minimum Personnel Distance from the accompanying table from any boundary of the launch site. We will check to make sure the launch location is appropriately far from the launch site boundaries and from any dangerous or noncompliant obstructions. This will be included on our launch safety checklist. 12. Recovery System: I will use a recovery system such as a parachute in my rocket so that all parts of my rocket return safely and undamaged and can be flown again, and I will use only flame resistant or fireproof recovery system wadding in my rocket. We will design our recovery system to allow for a safe recovery of the rocket, and use only materials that are safe and fire resistant or fire proof.(e.g., Nomex sheets) (see Section 4.1.c: Projected Recovery System ). 13. Recovery Safety: I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines, tall trees, or other dangerous places, fly it under conditions where it is likely to recover in spectator areas or outside the launch site, nor attempt to catch it as it approaches the ground. We will only attempt to recover our rocket under safe conditions, and we will not launch in conditions under which an unsafe recovery is likely. We will not attempt an unsafe mode of recovery, such as catching the rocket as it approaches the ground. The bolded rows in the table below contains the safety setbacks we will observe at sub scale and full scale launches. 17

21 3.1.3 MSDS Information MSDSs of all hazardous materials we may use have been gathered (see Appendix E: MSDSs for reproduced MSDSs) and safety equipment beyond the standard safety glasses and gloves will be used when material hazards necessitate. Before beginning construction, power tool safety will be reviewed. Since power tools have such great capacity for injury, proper training is the key to ensuring team member safety. Safety rules will be reviewed before all launches and will be included in pre launch checklists. JHSRT will also include safety statements in all internal documents relating to components with a safety risk. In addition, all electronics will be stored using anti static containers and team members will follow electrostatic mitigation procedures Risk Mitigation Tables Recovery Failures Failure Mode Probability Effects of Failure Failure Prevention Parachute Melts or Combusts Low Moderate Rocket falls at high velocity and breaks upon landing Kevlar blanket protects parachute; develop consistent packing procedure 21

Storage and Disposal 25

26 The environment is important to the team and we will properly dispose, recycle, and/or store materials in appropriate containers and locations. Of particular importance is recovering waste, like spent igniters, from launch sites and disposing spent batteries from the payload in an appropriate manner. Environmental Hazards We will not launch our rocket in hazardous weather (i.e. tornado watches/warnings, rain, severe weather watches, extreme heat, freezing conditions that may affect rocket or payload, extreme wind, etc.) 3.2 Safety Briefing Plan All students will be required to review and sign a safety contract before participating with the team. This contract will serve as an initial safety briefing for all students. As part of the contract, students will be required to review Section 3: Safety of this report. This will allow students to be familiar with the hazards associated with the activities of this team as well as how we plan on mitigating risks and avoiding accidents. The Safety Officer of the team will work with the NAR mentor, Dave Morey, to prepare pre and post launch checklists that must be followed at the launch site to ensure safe launch preparations and recovery. Before the rocket is launched, the pre launch checklist will have to be signed by both the NAR mentor, Dave Morey, as well as the safety officer. This will ensure that appropriate safety measures are followed during the pre launch process. 3.3 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Comprehensive lab safety training by mentors from the NCSSM FIRST Robotics Team will be completed prior to rocket construction. Appropriate use of lab safety equipment and power tools will be covered, as will fire safety considerations. Consistent use of personal protective equipment described below will be required for all team members. During ground testing of the reaction wheel payload we will use appropriate shielding (plexiglas or other) between the payload and observers in case the wheel becomes separated from the payload. If necessary, we will beef up the payload bay to contain any mechanical failure of the wheel using Kevlar reinforcements. 26

Our full scale rocket will, and our sub scale rocket may, require this waiver. Tripoli East North Carolina has acquired a waiver (to 16,000 feet AGL) for use at the Bayboro, North Carolina launch site. A Tripoli East North Carolina member will get permission from the FAA for launches under the waiver. We understand and will be compliant with the sections pertaining to Class 1 and Class 2 rockets of FAA 14 CFR, Subchapter F, Part 101, Subpart C, the text of which can be found in Appendix B: FAA Regulations. There are no federal explosives regulations applicable to Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP) since the NAR/Tripoli (3/16/2009) won a lawsuit against the BATFE. We understand and will comply with NFPA 1127 and the NAR High Power Rocketry Safety Code. 27

28 3.5 Rocket Motor Acquisition and Storage Plan The acquisition, transportation, storage, and assembly of all high power rocket motors will be handled directly by our NAR/TRA mentor Dave Morey, who is Level 2 certified for up to L motors. JHSRT will order and pay for high power motors but have them delivered directly the Mr. Morey who will retain possession of the motors until they are flown. The team will defer all assembly tasks involving handling the motors to Mr. Morey. The student Safety Officer will observe the assembly by Mr. Morey as an additional check of proper assembly. Mr. Morey will supply FFFFg Black Powder for use as ejection charges. Mr. Morey will load the ejection charges just before the rocket is assembled. 3.6 Range Safety Inspection Acknowledgement See Appendix C: Team Safety Contract Range Safety Inspections JHSRT recognizes the absolute authority of the Range Safety Officer and the validity of his or her safety inspection. For this reason the team will submit our rocket for range safety inspection in a timely manner Range Safety Officer Authority We hereby agree to comply with any determination of safety provided by the Range Safety Officer. This includes an explicit understanding that the Range Safety Officer has the right to deny launch to our rocket if there is any cause for safety concern Potential Denial to Launch We understand that if we do not comply with safety requirements as ordered by the Range Safety Officer that we will not be allowed to launch our rocket. 28

29 4 Technical Design Rocketeers often attach video cameras to rockets, most commonly looking down at the ground out at the horizon. Digital video cameras have become very inexpensive and small, allowing them to be mounted on the outside of the rocket. The resulting videos can be hit or miss, depending on the amount of roll and the roll rates experienced by the rocket. Even rockets that are well built (i.e. everything is aligned) will roll in response to aerodynamic perturbations and motor thrust. For example, see the videos at these links: TDBucmJCanZDTVk/view?usp=sharing UmZxMzMtb01wR1k/view?usp=sharing N09TYlg4Nm84RjQ/view?usp=sharing This rocket does not seem to have any misalignments in construction that result in rotation. Rather, it rotates in both directions in response to external forces as it rises through the air. Some rotation will occur if the fins (or other components) are misaligned. See this video: WG9EV2ZNMGxqbnc/view?usp=sharing This rocket rolls continuously in one direction, likely due to a misalignment of one or more fins. Our first goal is to control the roll of a well built rocket that is rolling due to external perturbations, not due to airframe misalignments. We would like to control the roll of the rocket to produce better videos with less rolling motion. We designed a payload to accomplish this goal last year with some success, and so our first goal for this year is to improve upon our previous design in order to maintain control over the roll of the rocket for a longer period of time. We are using a reaction (momentum) wheel aligned with the roll axis of the rocket to control the rocket s roll. Changing the speed of the wheel will generate rolling forces on the airframe that can be used to counteract the roll induced by external or motor forces. The reaction wheel payload is completely self contained and does not need to interface with the rest of the airframe. Theoretically, such a payload could be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Note that we do not expect to be able to control the roll of a poorly aligned airframe like in the last video, as least not for the complete flight. The continuous torque applied by the misaligned components of the airframe may rapidly spin the reaction wheel to its limits. The other goal for the rocket this year is inspired by the experience of the team last year when attempting to locate the rocket following its landing. The rocket happened to land in a field with 29

30 vegetation tall enough to make it very difficult for the team to find the rocket. Due to this visual obstruction, it took approximately forty five minutes to retrieve the rocket from the field. In order to avoid a potential repeat of this experience, we are planning to include a system within the payload designed to help us find and retrieve the rocket. This system will release balloons that are tethered to the rocket. The balloons will remain floating above the rocket s landing location as a signal to the team members searching for the rocket. This will allow us to quickly retrieve our rocket if it lands somewhere that could complicate the process of locating it. 4.1 Rocket and Payload Design The rocket design is based on the previous rocket JHSRT used in the 2015 NASA SLI. The rocket will be slightly shorter, but also wider in diameter. The requirements from NASA for the rocket have not changed significantly since 2015 and our previous rocket had an appropriately sized payload bay near the CG of the rocket that we can use for the reaction wheel. Changes to the already proven design include: The nose cone is longer and lighter, but still fits the team s Big Red Bee transmitter. Four fins instead of three to increase stability. Rounded edge fins rather than airfoil to reduce inaccuracies that could produce spin. Non swept back, trapezoidal fins so that poor landings would be less likely to result in damaged fins. Plastic nose cone to reduce mass. A shorter (17 instead of 19 ) payload bay. An added payload (a balloon) to the nose cone. The rocket was shortened in an attempt to reduce mass and achieve a higher apogee. The already proven recovery system will be reused. It includes two Raven3 altimeters for parachute deployment and a homemade hemispherical parachute that the team made for the previous rocket. We will use Aerotech s K1000T P, with a diameter of 75mm and a total impulse of 2512 Ns. The rocket will have two 3D printed pods on the side of the drogue bay to hold two 808 #16 keychain cameras to take downward looking video. The two pods keep aerodynamic forces symmetrical and provide redundancy in case one of the cameras does not work or is started incorrectly. (The user interface for the camera is not very intuitive.) 30

31 808 #16 Keychain Camera Example 3D Printed Camera Shroud Sold by Landru13 on Etsy.com The payload was conceived as a way to better the quality of videos taken from a rocket, which is prone to roll/rotation during flight. In brainstorming solutions for this problem, a flywheel was mutually agreed upon as the best method for counteracting a rocket s roll. We hope that this technology will help and inspire others in the rocketry community that are struggling with the same problem. 31

32 4.1.a Projected Vehicle Dimensions and Construction The rocket design is a standard four fin and nose cone dual deployment zipperless design. The payload bay is located in the zipperless coupler near the motor and is insulated by a bulkhead from the motor heat. The GPS transmitter bay is in a tube inside the tip of the nose cone. The recovery altimeters are located between the drogue and main parachute bays. The drogue bay is aft of the recovery altimeters and the main bay is forward. Key statistics are shown in a tabular form along with an image of the proposed rocket design below: Total Length Outer Diameter Nose cone Shape Nose cone Length Main Parachute Airframe Length Drogue Parachute Airframe Length Payload Bay Length Fin Section Bay Length Motor Tube Diameter inches 4 inches 4:1 ogive 16 inches 25.5 inches 18.5 inches 17 inches 28.4 inches 3 inches The projected design is shown diagrammatically on the following page: 32

33 33

34 All of the sections of the rocket were sized conservatively to be longer than strictly necessary to allow for payload size increases as the design process progresses and to allow payload and recovery system flexibility last year, so we simply shortened our rocket s length in areas that had excess space. The object of most debate was whether diameter of the airframe should be 5.5 inches or 4 inches. The 5.5 design was found to be unreasonable, for although it would have allowed for a shorter and/or less dense flywheel, the overall mass it added, as well as the drag, made it unable to reach a mile at apogee. Due to this shortcoming, we went with the 4 design to avoid this issue. Because of that, the flywheel will be made longer, but our original design allows for this change. For this preliminary design, we have assumed the use of Blue Tube for the airframe, plastic for the nose cone, and balsa/carbon fiber for the composite fins. This has kept the mass relatively low compared to the normal mass of a rocket this size. The current projected mass of the completed rocket with motor is approximately 9.8 kg. We plan to use four trapezoidal fins to ensure a stable trajectory. Four fins were chosen over three because this would result in more stability. Each of these fins is 12.6 inches long, spans 4.7 inches, and has a thickness of 3/8 of an inch. This gives the rocket a maximum span diameter of 13.4 inches, and a stability of 2.43 calibers. The dimensions were first chosen to ensure the center of pressure was three to five calibers behind the center of mass to ensure stability of the rocket. Then, the fin shape was optimized for strength. We chose a large root chord to maximize bonding surface area. We plan on using high temperature epoxy to adhere the fins to the motor tube to prevent melting adhesive and structural failure. The thickness and material of the fins were chosen to prevent oscillation and deformation in flight and prevent damage if the rocket lands fin first. We anticipate the fins will be made of end grain balsa sheets with half round hardwood leading and trailing edges. This structure will be covered with carbon fiber. For maximum strength, the fins will be mounted using through the wall construction; the fins will penetrate the body tube, connect directly to the motor tube and will be the structure that transfers the motors thrust from the motor mount to the airframe. 4.1.b Projected Altitude We used OpenRocket to design the rocket and simulate its flight. We used data from our previous SLI rocket to set the C D realistically. Using the Aerotech K1000T P that we have been exploring, we get the following simulation results for a launch at Bayboro, NC.. K1000T P, 0g Ballast Mass Altitude 1706 m (5597 ft) Flight Time 109 s Time to Apogee 17.9 s Velocity off Pad 23.3 m/s (76.4 ft/s) Max Velocity 226 m/s (741.5 ft/s) 34

35 4.1.c Projected Recovery System Components of the recovery system used in the previous JHSRT (as DART) SLI rocket worked well and will be reused in this rocket. The masses of the two rockets are similar, so descent rates should be close, about 15 ft/sec under main parachute. Forces on the recovery components will also be similar. The altimeters, parachutes, shock cords and linkages will be reused. A duplicate altimeter bay will be constructed. We will recover the rocket using dual deployment homemade parachutes that JHSRT team members made for the previous SLI rocket. A 2 ft diameter parasheet drogue chute is used. The main parachute is a semi ellipsoidal 16 gore 1.1 oz ripstop nylon parachute. The canopy is 84 inches (7 ft) wide when inflated. The gores are sewn using flat felled seams, giving it extra strength. Shroud lines extend over the top of the canopy. A small pilot chute is used to extend and inflate the chute quickly. The recovery system will be actuated by redundant Raven3 altimeters, each of which has dedicated black powder charges secured to the recovery altimeter bay. The design of the recovery altimeter bay is shown is a diagram below: 35

38 7 ft main parachute during construction Redundant charges will be used for each deployment each attached to a different independent altimeter. This ensures that if one altimeter malfunctions to other will still be able to initiate recovery. The parachute will be wrapped in Nomex fireproof material to prevent parachute charring and melting from the black powder ejection charges. Once we have ensured that the rocket has safely touched down in a safe location, four preselected JHSRT members will retrieve the rocket on foot. We will reuse a Big Red Bee GPS transmitter donated to the team for our SLI entry. The rocket locating transmitter is located in the nose cone. Dr. LaCosse possesses an Amateur Radio license and at least one member will acquire a license during the project. Dr. LaCosse has the ground support equipment we need to capture the downlinked GPS data during flight. Transmitter Radio Service Amateur Radio Service, Part 97 38

40 4.1.e.1 General Description The payload that we are considering placing into the rocket contains two different sections. There is a reaction wheel assembly that we used last year, known as the Roll Reaction Control System (RRCS). The purpose of the wheel is to keep the rocket steady in flight. The wheel will also be used to create controlled effects on the rocket in order to produce a desired video effect during flight. Last year, the payload was able to keep the rocket from rotating in the air for 10 seconds before the motor was no longer able to keep up with the roll. The desired effects that we want to produce are a steady panoramic view of the ground area during flight and a focus on one spot on the ground, and expanding on the same field of vision during flight. We will be using a VESC motor controller this year instead of the Phoenix Edge HV 40 from last year. See open source esc/ for a description of the VESC. It should be quicker to respond compared to the one from last year and able to control torque directly and change the speed that the motor spins more effectively. It supports electronic braking of the motor which was not available with the Edge ESC. We will be using the same motor from last year. The wheel that will be mounted on the top of the motor assembly will be larger and heavier than last year s. In the box diagram, the wheel is labeled as a "flywheel." The microprocessor uses a MEMS gyro rate sensor that detects the rotation of the rocket and commands the motor controller to speed up or slow down the motor/flywheel to counteract the rocket's roll. In the assembly, there are other key parts to detect the current status of the system in order to help prevent most avoidable damages to the payload using various sensors. A temperature sensor will measure the unit's temperature. The microprocessor can shut down the motor if it exceeds a temperature limit to avoid damage to the components. A speed sensor will be used by the microprocessor to shut down in case maximum motor speed is exceeded due to a programming error. An accelerometer will be used to detect liftoff and apogee so that the motor can be turned off during descent. A speaker and LED light will be used to indicate the state of the system. A fan and external vents will probably be needed to cool the motor and speed controller. The second component of the payload is a system designed to release a helium balloon in order to ease the process of location and acquisition of the rocket. The balloon will be allowed to float above ground level so that those who search for the rocket after the completion of a launch will be able to locate it expeditiously if the rocket lands in a location that results in visual obstructions (e.g. a field with tall vegetation, as happened to the previous JHSRT rocket). There are two candidate methods that are being considered for this component of the payload. The first of these possible methods is to inflate the helium balloon prior to launch, so that the balloon will already be inflated throughout the entirety of the launch. With this method, the balloon can simply be released after the main parachute opens during the rocket s descent. The other candidate method involves the usage of a helium cartridge to inflate the balloon at around 40

41 the time of landing. The system would have to inflate the balloon using the helium cartridge placed into the rocket prior to launch and seal the balloon to prevent leakage. 4.1.e.2 Theory of the Reaction Wheel Assuming the rocket is well built and all components are well aligned, there are two factors which will cause the rocket to spin during the flight. One is a wind perturbation and another is non symmetries in the rocket motor exhaust. (Fin misalignment will also induce a roll, but our goal is not to eliminate a major roll due to airframe misalignment.) According to Newton s Third Law, we know that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So we applied Newton s Third Law and designed a flywheel that counteracted the spin of the rocket. When we applied a torque to the flywheel to accelerate or decelerate it, an equal and opposite torque was applied to the airframe. As the flywheel accelerates, the rocket airframe will accelerate in the opposite direction. An equivalent way of thinking of this is that the reaction wheel angular momentum is changed to be opposite of that of a detected change in the rocket s angular momentum. Whenever the rocket begins to spin, we calculate how much torque we need to apply to the flywheel and we can counteract rocket spin as soon as possible. The roll torque cannot be detected on the rocket directly, but the angular acceleration of the rocket can be measured using a MEMS gyro rate sensor. From the moment of inertia of both the flywheel and rocket along with the data from the angular motion sensor which is processed by the microprocessor, the motor controller is commanded to give the Δω of the flywheel needed to maintain the zero roll angular momentum of the rocket/flywheel system. With the new motor controller, the torque of the flywheel should be able to be controlled. Consider the rocket and the flywheel as a whole system; when a perturbation causes the rocket to roll it will change the angular momentum about the roll axis. Due to the fact that the system is composed of the rocket and the flywheel, the angular momentum of the whole system is equal to the sum of the angular momentum of the rocket and the angular momentum of the flywheel. Any change in the rocket angular momentum and flywheel angular momentum is governed by the equation: ΔL total = ΔL Rocket + ΔLWheel. Based on Newton s Second Law, we know that the angular momentum of the whole system is the product of the angular speed and the rotational inertia of the whole system: ΔL total = I Δω ΔL total = (I RΔω R + I W Δω W ) where R and W subscripts denote the rocket (minus the flywheel) and flywheel respectively. I is the roll moment of inertia, and ω is the roll angular velocity. 41

42 The goal of the experiment is to ensure that the total roll angular momentum of the rocket system is unchanged from the liftoff condition. To counteract the spin of the rocket, an opposing change in roll angular momentum of the flywheel is generated. As the reaction wheel will be spinning before launch, the total roll angular momentum to be maintained will not be zero and is the pre launch total roll angular momentum of the reaction wheel. The key is to maintain the roll angular momentum before launch, which means the change in total roll angular momentum is maintained at zero. To find the angular velocity needed for the flywheel to maintain the original total angular momentum of the rocket/flywheel system, we start with: ΔL Total = 0 0 = ΔL Rocket + ΔLWheel ΔL Rocket = ΔL Wheel = I Wheel Δω Wheel Combine this with ΔL Rocket = I Rocket Δω Rocket To get the expression of the change in angular velocity, we need to apply the following to the flywheel: Δω Wheel = I Rocket Δω Rocket / I Wheel. The motor which drives the flywheel will be commanded to give this change in flywheel angular velocity to null the rocket roll. An angular motion sensor will be used to detect rocket roll and its data will be fed to a microprocessor which will perform the calculations needed to provide the proper command to the motor controller in order to null the roll. A control algorithm, such as proportional integral derivative (PID), will be used to control the system to minimize any jitter and guard against any system instability. The PID algorithm is widely used in many control systems for optimum control and can be tuned to eliminate overshoot and oscillation and can be designed to eliminate potential instability. Simulation of the PID algorithm with the roll physics of the reaction wheel / rocket can be done on a computer which will allow tuning of the PID algorithm to provide optimum response. Analytical solutions of the system can be solved by using Laplace transforms to gain insight to potential instabilities of the system and their resolution if necessary. 42

43 4.1.e.3 Block Diagram of RRCS and Design 43

44 The block diagram above depicts how the payload will be structured inside the rocket airframe. The two pictures above depict the payload used last year. We will make a few adjustments to it, including modifications to the dimensions of the payload, the motor controller that we will use, and the batteries that will power it. Different platforms will be oriented so that electronic components are stable during the launch process. These platforms, along with the payload mechanisms, would be placed into a frame that slides into the rocket payload section and is secured with screws. The motor driven wheel, or flywheel, will be spun by an electric motor controlled by a microprocessor and an electronic speed controller (ESC). The flywheel will be constructed in such a way that it can exhibit the highest amount of rotational inertia possible while possessing a safe margin of material thickness strength to prevent disintegration of the flywheel material due to rotational motion. The mass of the flywheel is primarily determined by the constraints of the rocket mass and the total impulse available to reach the target altitude of 1 mile. The mass of the flywheel from last year was roughly 2 pounds (or 0.9 kg). The new flywheel will have the 44

45 dimensions of 12.7cm in length and 7.62cm in diameter. Currently, we are intending on doubling the mass of the wheel the same but keeping the width of the wheel approximately 3 inches in diameter (or 7.62 cm). This will almost double the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The dimensions of the flywheel may be subject to change in order to increase the moment of inertia, and for more effective stabilization of the rocket. The flywheel will be balanced on an apparatus which measures rotational position with radial force sensors in contact with the flywheel axle to detect a possible imbalance. Any imbalance will be corrected by calculating the amount of mass either to be removed or added and location needed for dynamic balance by the magnitude of force and its position, identical to that done when balancing wheels for an automobile. We are switching to a different motor controller this year. Instead of the Phoenix Edge HV 40, we will being using a VESC motor controller. This new motor controller is an Open Source ESC which allows us extra flexibility in changing the program to fit our needs. It should be quicker to respond compared to the one from last year and able to control torque and change the speed of the motor s rotation more effectively. The board is approximately 40mm by 80mm. The kit for the motor controller is slightly more challenging to assemble, so we are planning on purchasing three kits to account for mistakes. We are switching from a speed oriented control to a torque controlled system. We will be using the same motor from last year. The electric motor is a considerable component of the RRCS as the RPMs must be variable at different times of the flight. We are using a Turnigy Kv brushless motor for the RRCS that can accelerate up to 5,000 RPM. In a brushless motor, the permanent magnets are on the rotor and the electromagnets are stationary on the stator. The motor is controlled by varying a voltage through the electromagnets. The electricity charges up the electromagnets, which causes the shaft to turn as a result of the attraction and repulsion of the magnets. The shaft can spin at high speeds and change speeds easily by changing the average voltage applied to the electromagnets, allowing the microprocessor to quickly adjust the spin of the rocket. Brushless motors take some time in order to start from a standstill and thus, the motor has to be running prior to launch. The batteries used to power the motor last year were 6 cell batteries with 24 volts of power. During the final flight last year, which took place shortly after the Huntsville launch, we used 2 batteries that each had 4 cells in a series instead. This equaled out to about 32 volts and this increased voltage allows the motor to spin up to 5000 RPM. 45

46 4.1.e.4 Payload Flight Data from last year The graph above was obtained from the final flight last year. The gray sine curve represents the target rotational position of the rocket that we were trying to achieve. The payload was able to match the target position accurately during flywheel acceleration but struggled to do so while slowing down due to the lack of brakes in the motor controller. The payload was unable to keep up with the speed of the rocket s spin after 10 seconds, causing the rocket s rotation to greatly deviate from the target. Increasing the moment of inertia and torque of the flywheel should help solve this problem and cancel out the spin. We are adding a braking function with the new controller to address this problem. The electronic brake will allow us to slow the rotation of the motor (represented by the blue line in the graph above) using more than just friction, which will allow us to adjust the rotation position of the rocket to more closely resemble the target position. 4.1.e.5 Inflatable Location Device Diagram and Candidate Plans (Please see the Rocket Design ( 4.1.a ) for the location of the balloon in the rocket.) The Inflatable Location Device (ILD) consists primarily of an inflated helium balloon. The current plans are to have the balloon inside the nose cone. We are thinking of having multiple small balloons tied to an approximately 8 foot long fishing line. If the multiple small, normal, round helium balloons will not fit in the nose cone, we will switch to using long skinny helium party balloons. 46

47 The main approach at this time is to inflate the balloons prior to launch and then put them in the rocket. The balloons will be tied to the shock cord with multiple secure knots and released with the parachutes. When the rocket lands, the helium balloons will continue to float above the rocket, with their tether to the shock cord preventing the balloons from floating away, allowing our members to more easily locate it. The primary concern of this plan is that the balloons may pop during flight due to either the change in pressure or the forces acting on the balloons. The pressure inside the rocket should not change significantly and normal helium balloons can survive up to from 5 miles before popping, so the likelihood of the balloons popping from changes in pressure is not very high. Other concerns are that inflated balloons small enough to fit inside the rocket will not be able to lift the weight of an 8 foot long fishing line, and that the balloons will not be sturdy enough to survive the forces acting on them as they fall with the rocket. The backup method, if the primary method does not succeed, is to inflate a single, larger balloon after launch. The backup method will likely pose a significant challenge. This method necessitates inflating and sealing a balloon remotely with a helium cartridge. We will have to be able to ensure that there will not be a premature or significantly delayed release of helium, and find a way to make a balloon reliably seal itself as it inflates. There are self sealing water balloons that are able seal themselves due to the mass of water. We will try to manipulate the same concept to seal our helium balloons, but this will likely be difficult to accomplish due to the low density of helium gas. We will likely be unable to rely on the mass of the gas as a way to produce the desired outcome and will have to program and develop a system that will remotely inflate the balloon. This proposed plan consists of having sensors inside the rocket that will detect when the rocket has landed and reached an elevation of 0, which will then cause a microcomputer or another electronic device to trigger the helium cartridges placed inside the rocket to inflate a balloon before sealing, tying the fishing line, and releasing the balloon. 4.1.e.6 Candidate Method Evaluation Plan for the ILD The process of choosing which method to use for the ILD will involve focusing on testing the primary proposed method to see if it will meet a certain set of criteria. If the criteria is met, we will proceed with the primary proposed plan. If the primary plan does not work, we will attempt to develop the backup method. The primary proposed method will be chosen if it meets a certain set of requirements. Firstly, helium balloons small enough to fit inside the nose cone will need to be able to float and lift up 8 feet of fishing line that is tied to them. The balloons also need to be able to survive the conditions during flight without popping. If the balloons are unable to survive the flight, we will be forced to find some way to inflate the balloons after landing. If that is the case, we will use our backup method plan. 47

48 4.1.e.7 Ground Testing After rebuilding the reaction wheel with the taller flywheel and new motor controller, we will need to test the wheel assembly in two stages. The rotational sensor system will be retested to confirm its ability to detect rocket roll with minimal error. This will be accomplished by use of a rotational dynamics platform that has a direct angular position sensor which will be compared to the output of the gyro rate sensor measurements that are integrated with time to give angular position. The reaction wheel s abilities will be tested after we add the new motor controller and flywheel to the roll control system. The primary method of testing will involve using a rotational dynamics platform set to a desired torque level, equivalent to what could be expected on the rocket during flight. The reaction wheel will be placed on the platform, and we will drop a weight producing a known torque to turn the platform, and run to see if it can counteract the torque produced by the spinning platform. Then we will place the sensor on the platform and turn it to test if it can detect the angular position correctly. The apparatus would be used to see if it could properly detect angular velocity, angular acceleration and angular position. The ultimate goal of the accelerometer system is to accurately detect angular acceleration in the rocket and command the reaction wheel assembly to either speed up or slow down in order to counteract the acceleration. The apparatus that will be used to test the reaction wheel assembly and gyro rate sensor is shown in the diagram below. 48

49 The assembly will consist of a rotating platform mounted atop an angular position sensor and horizontal pulley. A string extends out from that pulley, goes around a vertical pulley, and attaches to the falling mass used to produce the known acceleration values during test runs. The testing apparatus will be connected to a computer data collection system called DataStudio. DataStudio will be used to collect and process the data obtained. Data processing includes differentiating the angular position data to give angular velocity and differentiating again to get angular acceleration. The ILD will be tested in the laboratory at Jordan High School. Small helium balloons will be inflated with a helium tank up to the maximum size of 3.5inches wide in diameter. Balloons any wider will not fit inside the nosecone. The balloons will be tied to a 8 foot long thin fishing line and tested to see if it will float. The balloons will be subjected to harsher conditions that may result in it popping; our primary concern being the change in pressure and forces acting on the balloon. Since we can not manipulate the air pressure in the surrounding area, we will simulate it by using changes in temperature. Using the ideal gas law, we will calculate the changes in temperature necessary to be equivalent to the changes in pressure during flight and observe how much the balloon expands and if it will pop. Then we will calculate the force on the balloon as it falls with the rocket after the parachutes are released. We will then apply that force to the balloon and experiment to discover if the balloon will be able to survive those forces. 49

50 4.1.f Vehicle, Recovery System and Payload Requirements JHSRT will meet all primary requirements in the Statement of Work for Middle/High School in the 2015 NASA SL Handbook. Most notable among them include the requirements for dual altimeters; EMI shielding for recovery electronics; the ability of the rocket to remain on the launch pad, armed, for one hour prior to launch; shear pins in both deployments in the airframe; and magnetic arming switched for all electronics. To address these requirements concisely, we include the following numbered list, matching the requirements in the Statement of Work: Vehicle Requirements 1.1 Our simulations show the rocket will be subsonic and a motor and ballast will be chosen to reach as close to 5280 feet AGL as possible, but not go over. 1.2 Our rocket will utilize two Featherweight Raven3 altimeters with Raven Perches, whose readings will be used in the scoring of our rocket s flight altitude. 1.3 The airframe will be built using Blue Tube (which appears to be less susceptible to shattering than phenolic) and use a proven recovery system (used in JHSRT s previous SLI rocket) to slow impact velocity to ensure reusability. 1.4 We will have three tethered sections: the nose cone, parachute bays, and fin section (containing the payload). 1.5 The rocket will be single stage and use a single motor. 1.6 We will be able to prepare the rocket for launch in under two hours with the following steps, most of which can be performed concurrently, with the exception of final assembly Charge and install batteries Prepare black powder ejection charges Prepare payload Pack parachutes prepare and mount video cameras Start GPS transmitter Build motor Assemble rocket 1.7 The estimated battery life of all recovery electronics in the rocket are in excess of 6 hours. We shall design the reaction wheel payload to be able to run autonomously for at least 1 hour or have a remote control to spin up the wheel just before launch. 1.8 The rocket will use the manufacturer recommended First Fire igniters or equivalent Magnelite igniters, both of which are 12V actuated. 1.9 All equipment is self powered, the payload turned on ahead of time, and the recovery 50

51 altimeters are turned on at pad using magnetic switches when rocket is in the vertical orientation. Depending on our choice of reaction wheel in the payload we may need to use a radio control to start the wheel just before launch to minimize the size of the motor batteries We will use reloadable motors, for which Dave Morey will loan us the 75/2560 case. We can use compatible Aerotech or Cessaroni reloads Pressure vessels. A small 95cc helium cylinder may be used to inflate the ILD. Its burst strength is about 3 times higher than its loaded pressure We plan on using a single K motor We plan on a 2.15 subscale rocket (53%) that should fit the FAA Class 1 definition. It will be aerodynamically similar to the full scale, but it will not have a payload. It will use a single Raven for dual deployment. We plan to fly it at our Bahama, NC launch site. Ballast will be used to match the CG to the expected CG of the full scale rocket We anticipate at least two test flights of the full scale rocket at the Bayboro, NC launch site. We will verify the two hour build time and one hour on pad compliance All flights of the full scale rocket will include the full redundant dual deploy recovery system The first full scale flight will include an operating payload. The second flight will be used to adjust the ballast to achieve a 5280 foot apogee. Both flights will have two onboard 808 keychain video cameras The motor chosen to reach 5280 feet will be used for all test flights Flight results will be used to refine the C D used in the simulations. The second and subsequent test flights will take refined drag simulations into account to refine the ballast to tune the maximum altitude to just below 5280 feet After the full scale demonstration flights, we will not modify the rocket without the concurrence of the NASA Range Safety Officer (RSO) We will not use any of the prohibited designs. Recovery System Requirements 2.1 We will dual deploy a two foot drogue at apogee, then a seven foot main at about 500 feet, with 30 foot nylon shock cords tethering each section. This is a proven design and the same components that we used for our previous SLI rocket. 2.2 We will ground test the ejection charges for both rockets at Mr. Morey s yard or the Bahama, NC launch site. 51

52 2.3 Our largest section of about 9 lbs, which must impact the ground at less than 23 fps to have less than the maximum kinetic energy of 75 ft lbf. Our empirical data from previous JHSRT (as DART) SLI flights shows a descent rate of 15 fps. We will be using the same parachute and have approximately the same mass as the previous JHSRT (as DART) SLI rocket. 2.4 The recovery electronics and payload will be physically separated and not share any electrical components. 2.5 The recovery system will use two Featherweight Raven3 altimeters with Raven Perches, each with independent batteries, processors, and independent ejection charges. Same as we used in our previous SLI rocket. 2.6 Motor ejection will not be utilized as a form of primary or secondary deployment in our rocket. 2.7 We will use independent magnetically actuated arming switches. 2.8 Independent batteries are used for each Raven. 2.9 Unless disturbed by a rather powerful magnet, the magnetic arming switch will stay armed. The arming switches will be about 57 inches from the base of the launch vehicle We will use two to four #2 56 nylon screws as shear pins to secure both parachute bays. The precise number will depend on empirical test results We will use a Big Red Bee GPS transmitter on the 70cm amateur radio band transmitting Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) data via the AX.25 protocol to determine the location of the launch vehicle after recovery. The GPS transmitted is installed in a bay in the nose cone We have no untethered airframe sections The recovery altimeters will be about 26 inches away from the GPS transmitter in a separate compartment. They will be about 16 inches from the reaction wheel. The reaction wheel motor and controller may generate significant RF noise. We will perform a ground test with the Ravens on, GPS transmitter at maximum power, and the reaction wheel operating. Separation distances will be varied during the tests. Payload Requirements 3.1 Attempt to minimize/eliminate rotation of the rocket using a reaction wheel to make a more stable video platform. Challenges include developing a control algorithm and hardware components that can detect and absorb angular momentum changes. 3.2 Ground and flight tests will be made to refine the control algorithm and hardware components to try to minimize rolling. 3.3 Not applicable. 52

53 3.4 Not applicable. 3.5 We see no reason we should not be able to launch the payload many times in one day. Charging batteries or switching to a different battery pack is all that should be required. Safety Requirements 4.1 The team will develop checklists starting from the ones used in previous SLI experience. 4.2 Emma will be responsible for checklists and other safety items in Dave Morey is the team s mentor. 4.5 Dave Morey is often the RSO at the Bayboro launch field and believes the NASA SLI requirements are above and beyond what is normally required for the demonstration launch. Dave Morey will notify the club prefect of our intentions. 4.1.g Major Technical Challenges and Solutions The major challenge faced by JHSRT is the difficulty of constructing a working payload. We are using a different motor controller this year, which may present some technical challenges. We will have to program this motor controller, which will be different from the programming challenges that we faced last year. Previously, the motor controller operated using a motor speed interface, whereas the controller that we plan on using this year will utilize a torque interface. We will have to learn how to program this new motor controller so that it will function properly with our payload. We will accomplish this by working to learn the necessary programming skills from our mentors who have programming experience (see Appendix A ). Beyond programing and math, the flywheel creates potential physical hurdles. Given the weight and the potentially high operational RPM (i.e. angular momentum) of the flywheel, there is some element of unpredictability associated with the operation of the flywheel. As such, extreme caution will need to be practiced in the construction and alignment of the flywheel. Spending extra time ensuring a safe housing for the flywheel will be of key importance. This will be challenging, but working collaboratively will ensure success. The primary method for the balloon component of the payload (i.e. inflating the balloon prior to launch) does not pose many major technical challenges other than ensuring that the balloon is able to fit inside of the rocket once inflated (for this reason, a long and thin balloon may be used) and preventing damage to the balloon during flight. It is for this reason that this is considered the more ideal of the two candidate methods. If we use the backup method for the balloon component of the payload (i.e. inflating the balloon at around the time of landing), there may be more technical challenges. It would be necessary 53

54 to remotely inflate and seal a balloon, which would require knowledge and experience that we currently lack. To overcome these difficulties, we will work with our mentors who have the programming and physics knowledge that will allow us to accomplish this (see Appendix A ). Design and construction of the rocket will not pose much difficulty because it is based on an already proven design that the team used in a previous NASA SLI. However, some members of the team would like to learn how to build composite fins (end grain balsa and carbon fiber). Mr. Morey, who has extensive experience in this area, will teach us. To overcome the difficulty of the payload, JHSRT will begin payload construction on day one, factoring in time for significant changes to the design of the payload such as flywheel and controller changes and changing from one candidate method for the inflatable location device to the other (if necessary). Testing will be done on the ground with Dr. LaCosse s torque generating platform. 54

55 5 Educational Engagement 5.1 Hands On Educational Project We hope that JHSRT will be able to further enthusiasm for STEM related fields for middle school students in the Durham area. To do so, we will contact local middle schools science teachers about interest in JHSRT presentations to interest students in rocketry and in STEM classes before they get to high school. This is a continuation of similar activities in the last two years. JHSRT also plans to continue to participate in the Astronomy Days program at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, North Carolina. Astronomy Days is an annual two day festival that brings visitors from around the state to exhibitors in Raleigh. Last year, NASA and the Raleigh Astronomy Club were official sponsors. The dates of this program are January 30 31, We partner with Tripoli East North Carolina, which has had a rocketry display at Astronomy Days for many years. We plan to exhibit our rockets and display materials related to our projects and to reach out to middle school students and inform them about TARC, NASA SL and rocketry in general. Total attendance for this program is approximately 10,000 people. From this audience, we believe we will be able to reach at least 100 middle school students. As for our on site middle school activity, we have previously displayed our high power model rocket and explained what JHSRT is and what we do in order to cater to the other age groups present at the event. For the hands on activity, we have in the past constructed air pressure paper rockets in which students change the launch angle and pressure to correctly get the bottle rocket to a specific destination; for example a bucket or through a hoop. This activity is relatively inexpensive and students will handle only household materials. Until we know the amount of space and resources available to us, which will be given by our host at the time, we plan to account for both large and small areas to work with the activity. The team plans on visiting Githens Middle School, Rogers Herr Middle School, and Creekside Elementary School over the course of the year. We will showcase our rocket and talk about our projects, engaging the students and hopefully encouraging some to pursue rocketry and other science related activities in the future. We also plan on going to Morehead Planetarium and Science Center in Chapel Hill, NC, and Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC to inform others about what we do. 55

The candidate methods for the balloon must be tested to determine which is most viable as soon as possible. We should strive for a working, ground tested payload before CDR. Subscale design and construction can start immediately and it should be flight tested by CDR. Full scale construction should be complete by the Bayboro launch in January 2015 so it can be flight tested (without payload) at that launch. If the payload is ready, we can fly it again with the payload. Flights with payload should be completed at the February Bayboro launch. 6.2 Budget The project budget is included in Appendix D: Budget. Items with a cost of 0 have been generously donated or are already owned and on loan from team members. 6.3 Funding Plan A total of $2,600 dollars is left over from last year s budget, all of which can be used towards expenses this year. Also, a very generous donation of $5,000 was made out to the team this past summer. As of now, $500 of this will be put towards the NASA SL budget costs. The remaining amount will be used to purchase a number of tools for the Jordan Physics Lab, the first of which being a 3D printer. The 3D printer would be located at Jordan High School, for the rocketry team to use at their discretion. Other needed tools and hardware would purchased with these funds as well. 57

58 Additional funding or donations of needed equipment, supplies or transportation will be solicited from Durham area companies, alumni from team member schools, parent organizations, grants and fundraising activities. Last year, the team used the online organization GoFundMe in order to pay for transportation costs, and this resource can be utilized again this year. 6.4 Community Support JHSRT plans to seek academic discounts from vendors who will supply materials for this project. JHSRT also plans to use the physics laboratory and equipment at JHS, to test the payload components and to serve as a secondary meeting location. Mr. Morey has graciously offered his shop and tools for certain parts of the rocket construction. JHSRT will also seek donations of equipment, supplies or transportation from vendors. In the 2013 SLI, JHSRT (as DART) was the recipient of some equipment and team shirts from vendors and an area company. This year, JHS has also received a donation of $5,000 towards capital equipment needed for rocketry operations. There is early indication the same donor is prepared to donate another $5,000 to purchase additional fabrication equipment. JHSRT will also contact local news media outlets and ask the media companies for assistance in the promotion of JHSRT to the community for whatever support they can provide. So far JHSRT has $3,100 from donations and leftover funds from last year s NASA SL which will be applied to this year s operations. The remainder of the funds or other resources needed will be from private and public donations. JHSRT also plans to have one or more fundraisers to raise the rest of the funds we need. JHSRT plans to identify potential sponsors and then sending a letter to each potential donor asking for financial support. JHSRT will be sending them to local companies, like The Q Shack, and corporate companies like HHGregg and the large number of high technology firms that are located in the Durham area. Individuals will come up with the remainder of funds needed for the program. 6.5 JHSRT Sustainability JHSRT (as DART) is four years old and has participated in NASA SLI 2013 and in the Federation of Galaxy Explorers Battle of the Rockets Planetary Rover event in We simultaneously entered TARC in The team (as DART) participated in last year s 2015 NASA SL program. This year we are proposing a project for NASA SL and will also enter the TARC competition again. Three teams from JHS are entering TARC this year, and hope to be in the finals in May to try for requalification for future NASA SL events. 58

59 Leadership has been successfully passed from senior to junior members three times. We actively seek out new members each year to replace graduating students. The team has displays at school club fairs to garner new interest and has made presentations to school boards to garner support for our activities. The team has successfully recruited a number of freshmen and sophomore students to ensure continuity in JHSRT. The team has engaged Middle School students in rocketry activities. We have built some air pressure paper rocket launchers. A bicycle pump is used to pressurize a chamber and launch the paper rockets. The launch angle and air pressure is adjustable, allowing the students to explore the effects on the motion of the rockets. We contact local Middle School Science teachers to see if they are interested in our demonstrations. The team also exhibits with the Tripoli East North Carolina prefecture at Astronomy Days at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences each year. We display our projects and try to engage young students and get them interested in rocketry. About 10,000 people attend Astronomy Days over a single weekend. Other members are recruited from the Jordan High School Physics program. (JHS AP Physics students enter TARC as a part of Dr. LaCosse s curriculum.) We also invite students from other local schools that have active TARC teams. JHSRT hopes to become a regular fixture in the Durham area. To maintain participation from successive classes, we plan on participating in club fairs at schools who sent students to JHSRT the previous year. Each year, schools allow clubs to display what they have to offer to the entire school in a single event. This year, the club fair at NCSSM was very successful, garnering participation from eight new students. As a team we encourage the students who will not be graduating in the immediate year to further the program and grow into leadership roles. Last year, Jordan won an award for best website design, despite the award not originally being a high school award, and we plan on continuing this success. Our website will feature separate tabs, one for each year of NASA Student Launch participation, as well as a blog, updated weekly, describing the team s progress as the year goes on. General team information and community events will also be included. The funding picture for JHSRT appears healthy for the immediate future.the team has secured a very promising amount of funds for use this year, and other donors have expressed interest in contributing to our efforts. We do not currently have institutional or industrial partnerships beyond JHSRT itself. Though Tripoli Each North Carolina we have a strong relationship with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, the institution responsible for hosting and running Astronomy Days,. We plan to continue our participation in the event and share rocketry activities with participants in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. 59
