  2. Mission Overview 3 4 2 5 1 6

  3. Scientific Mission Overview Characterize the performance of electrically active heat shielding Proposed method of reentry: • Electromagnetic Heat Shield Presenter: Tal Wammen

  4. Engineering Mission Overview Develop a standardized probe and deployment system. Develop a reliable and reusable standard electronic system. Presenter: Tal Wammen

  5. Theory and Concepts To design and build a standardized probe deployment system to test an advanced, electrically shielded reentry system. These concepts, as well as a standardized delivery mechanism, will provide a foundation to build future experiments. Presenter: Tal Wammen

  6. Theory and Concepts • A strong magnet should repel charged particles. • Particles striking the payload impart energy on the probe causing heat. Research based from several papers regarding preventing radio black out. Presenter: Tal Wammen

  7. Concept of Operations t ≈ 1.7 min Shedding of Skin t ≈ 4.0 min Probe Deployment t ≈ 2.8 min Apogee End of Terrier Malamute Burn t ≈ 8.2 min Chute Deploys t ≈ 15 min Splash Down t ≈ 0 min Launch Presenter: Tal Wammen

  8. Success Criteria Reduce heat on reentry of a probe. Confirm results with control. Create a standardized probe deployment platform enabling future progression in the field. Presenter: Tal Wammen

  12. Subsystem Overview Presenter: Tal Wammen

  13. Critical Interfaces Presenter: Tal Wammen

  14. System/Project LevelRequirement Verification Plan Presenter: Tal Wammen

  15. User Guide Compliance Presenter: Tal Wammen

  16. Sharing Logistics Who are we sharing with? • University of Northern Colorado • The possibility of a communication system between the AstroX payload and the UNC payload is being considered. Plan for collaboration? • Email, phone, road-trips to Greeley and Boulder • Communication with UNC on a weekly basis. • Grant UNC access to the AstroX private website. Presenter: Tal Wammen

  17. Subsystem Overview 3 4 2 5 1 6

  18. Subsystem: Magnet source • 100 seconds of activation • Must Sit for 5 Days • Must be reliable and safe. • Must perform well.

  19. Subsystem: Wireless • Must transmit data after reentry. • Critical to success. • Must be able to operate legally.

  20. Subsystem: Power Supply • 3 Minutes of Power • Must Sit for 5 Days • Large, Quick Draw Needed

  21. Subsystem: Heat Shielding Silicone • Inexpensive • Reliable • Durable

  22. Subsystem: Ejection System Spring w/Ribbon • Safe • Effective • Simple • Reliable

  23. Subsystem: Nose Geometry • Nose Assembly • Stable • Create Drag To Reduce Plasma Buildup

  24. Subsystem: Fin Attachment • Strong • Must survive Reentry • Create Drag to Stabilize Craft • Must Be Inexpensive

  25. Subsystem: Temperature sensor • Thermocouple • Pros • High temperature range • Cons • Additional hardware needed to interface with controller Integrated Chip Pros Cheap Easily interfaces with controller Cons Poor temperature range

  27. Electromagnet Modeling 3 4 2 5 1 6

  28. Electromagnetic Equations Ampere’s Law: Simplified to: Where B is the magnetic flux vector. N is the number of turns. L is the length, and I is the current. μ is μo * μr, where μo is the permeability of free space (4πE-7 H/m), and μris the permeability of soft iron (200).

  29. Electromagnet Matlab Code Equations implemented in matlab. Takes variety of parameters including: diameter, length, wire gauge and internal battery resistance. Another script loops through available parameters building potential electro magnets.
