Comprehensive Pre-Flight Briefing for Payload Design at Pima Community College

This pre-flight briefing outlines the design and testing processes for two payloads developed by the ANSR-78 team at Pima Community College. Payload 1 emphasizes a lightweight structure that accommodates multiple sensors, ensuring effective temperature and humidity data collection. Payload 2 focuses on creating a self-powered video recording device with optimal balance and resistance to environmental challenges. Highlighting innovations in structural integrity and efficient weight management, this briefing also acknowledges contributors and emphasizes rigorous testing to ensure operational reliability at extreme temperatures.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Pre-Flight Briefing ANSR-78 Team Members • Pima Community College • 11/23/13 • Roger Page • Alex Grebenchtchikov • Robert Hendrickson • Ling Bin Lu • Levi Kerns

  2. Payload 1 Design Process • Spacious while remaining light • Include at least two different sensors • Extra space for insulation • Reduce unnecessary weight from the components • Test all sensors • Test pod and electronics at -50°C

  3. Payload 1 Structure • A simple box shape with plenty of room A large volume while remaining light Leaves plenty of room for insulation

  4. Payload 1 Data Inputs • Temperature: One sensor on the inside • Relative Humidity: one sensor on the outside

  5. Payload 2 Motivation: Side-View Cross Section • Launch a self-contained, self-powered video recording device • Maintain minimum payload rotation by expanding on the use of bearings that were successfully used by the 2012 PCC team • Minimize Weight • View Angle • Maintain safe operational temperature for the iPod Styrofoam Polyester Winter Pants Aluminum Rod Carbon Fiber Fish-Eye Lens Temperature Recording Unit iPod Touch 5th Generation

  6. Payload 2 Design Benefits Model B Model A • Better Structural Integrity • Hemispherical "Bullet Shape • Balanced Rotation • Cylindrical Shape

  7. Payload 2 Testing Results Model A Chosen: • Properly counter-balanced bearing rotation • Stronger Impact Resistance • Higher Resistance to Cold Temperature

  8. Payload 2 Final Product

  9. Acknowledgements • Special thanks to the following: • Jack Crabtree and ANSR • Susan Brew and NASA Space Grant • Mike Sampogna • Dr. Denise Meeks
