  4. MAPP Science The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the mechanical stresses in an elastic structure during the flight of a sounding rocket. The structure proposed consists of a circular plate, the deck plate, which is supported by four longerons, which connect in turn to circular plates at either end of the longerons simulating a payload section of previous sounding rocket flights. A dummy mass is attached to the center of the deck plate. During the flight, dynamic loads in the axial and lateral directions will cause the deck plate to deflect. The resulting deformation will be measured at selected points using strain gauges connected to electronic boards to obtain time-varying voltage signals which in turn will be digitized and stored for later analysis. The obtained data will be compared to theoretical predictions. Careful pre-flight calibration of the entire data stream will be conducted. RockSat CDR

  5. Novel Magnetometers Flight Experiment - Science • Design, assemble, and test two COTS, solid state 3-axis magnetometers with controller, data storage and power: • Honeywell HMR2003 - anisotropic magneto-resistance • Aichi Micro Intelligent AMI302 - giant magneto-impedance • Compare directly the X,Y,Z flight readings of both sensors • Measure EMI from the chips’ bias straps (Honeywell) and bias coils (Aichi). • Honeywell device proposed for U. Colorado small satellite design (2003). We have found no other evidence of its use in space flight. • Aichi chip under study by US Navy for navigation of autonomous marine vehicles. We have found no record of the Aichi chip being used in space. RockSat CDR

  13. MAPP Strain Gauges • After testing in SolidWorks, we determined that the deck plate would not deform enough for the strain boards that we built for the USERS program to amplify the signal enough to get meaningful data using metal strain gauges. After research, we decided to use semi-conductor strain gauges, which have a gauge factor of ~60 times that of a metal foil strain gauge. We will implement them in a configuration that would both double signal output and reduce concerns about temperature sensitivity. Using this configuration should allow us to use our boards from the USERS program with only minor changes. RockSat CDR

  24. RockSat Payload Canister User Guide Compliance (MAPP & BU) Mass estimate includes everything shown in slide 16 . Missing are the electronic boards ( 4 of 4”x4” ) for MA and electronic boards and battery for BU m = 10.86 lbs (< 12.75, the heavy test mass can be reduced) Center of mass 0.35” off axis and 1.06” below geometric center. Because electronic boards and tray for the BU experiment have not been included, the center of mass will move slightly closer to the geometric center. Entire structure fits into a cylinder of 9” (<9.2) diameter and 9.275” (<9.4) height leaving 0.125” for washers. Connection with 5 bolts to top and bottom bulk head , respectively, is provided. RockSat CDR

  25. RockSat Payload Canister User Guide Compliance– cont. • Payload Activation a battery , a G-switch, and shorting wires to Wallops shorting plug form a complete loop with electric current flowing only if both the G-switch and shorting plug are in closed position simultaneously. Once current is flowing a circuit consisting of a second battery (ies) and all electronic boards is activated using a solid-state latched relay and switch transistor. This second loop maintains itself even when the G-switch subsequently falls back into its open position (during ballistic flight phase). RockSat CDR

  26. Shared Can Logistics Plan • Boston University (Mike Ruane) • Penn State Mont Alto (Zig Herzog) Sharing mechanical structure but independent power supply, controller, data acquisition, and data storage. Possibility of future sharing of these items is not excluded . RockSat CDR
