Mission Overview • Experiment overviews – Flight Dynamics • This experiment will measure the kinematics of the rocket flight, and will be used as a reference for the other experiments. – Cosmic Ray Experiment • The atmosphere is constantly barraged by foreign charge particles and waves from a variety of sources. The atmosphere shields the surface of the earth from these particles. As one travels further from the surface of the earth, the shielding effect decreases. By using an array of Geiger tubes, the team hopes to measure the concentration of cosmic rays in the atmosphere. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 8

Mission Overview • Radio Plasma Experiment – In the earth’s atmosphere, energetic sources cause the ionization of gas particles. This region is collectively known as the ionosphere. The particles are known to oscillate at a given frequency, as a function of charge density. By using a variable frequency radio sweep, one can in theory find the resonance frequency of the ambient plasma. With this information, one can find the plasma density as a function of altitude.

Mission Overview • Greenhouse Gas Experiment – Various gases are thought to play a major role in the warming trends of earth’s environment. Certain gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide are thought to play the most major roles in this process. Most atmospheric data for gas concentration is measured from a fixed point on the ground. It is the goal of this experiment to measure the concentration of the gases as a function of altitude, and provide some insight into their concentration profiles. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 10

Mission Overview • Dusty Plasma Experiment – Although a plasma is regularly composed of charged gas particles in a dynamic equilibrium. In a dusty plasma, neutral particles of much larger particle diameter are suspended in a lattice equilibrium position. In a normal dusty plasma suspension, gravity plays a key role in lattice formulation. It is the goal of this experiment to study these lattices in the microgravity portions of this flight. Rock.

Off-Ramps • GHGE – The team is currently finalizing a temperature control system for the GHG control volume. As it stands, current calculations show the air temperatures to be below chosen sensor ranges for portions of the flight. To control this problem, the team is attempting to use a master piston and cylinder to compress the air until it reaches the desired temperature. If this control scheme cannot be fully realized, the team will not take samples during portions of the flight with unacceptable temperatures. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 25

Off-Ramps • DPE – As it currently stands, the team hopes to create, stabilize, and study a dusty plasma in microgravity conditions.

Software Testing • CRE – The CRE code must be able to decipher digital pulses into a numerical count. This code sequence is also a heritage element, and little modification work is expected. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 85

Software Testing • RPE – The RPE is expected to be able to send

Software Testing • RPE – The RPE is expected to be able to send variable frequency wave pulses into a plasma environment. The coding must accurately control the RF circuit such that the pulse out and received are properly compared to one another. – This task will require the completion of the previously mentioned electrical testing of this subsystem. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 86

Software Testing • DPE – This code must be able to control the RF

Software Testing • DPE – This code must be able to control the RF generation circuit and record the sensor data from the refracted laser. – This software testing will rely heavily on the successful mechanical and electrical completion of the system. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 87

Software Testing • GHGE – The GHGE code must be able to maintain the

Software Testing • GHGE – The GHGE code must be able to maintain the CV temperature in the prescribed range. – To do this the team will simulate flow temperatures with compressed air. The algorithm must be able to position the piston such that the CV temperature lies within the acceptable range. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 88

Risk Walk-Down Netburner fails in flight RPE sweep timing Failure DPE CV pressure loss

Risk Walk-Down Netburner fails in flight RPE sweep timing Failure DPE CV pressure loss • GHGE thermal controller fails Consequence • Further research and Design have mitigated multiple risk in this mission. Further time must still be spent to lower the risk in the DPE apparatus. Geiger tube array breaks on launch Possibility Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 90

Risk Walk-Down • Patch antenna Not properly calibrated GHGE temp sensors fail • Consequence GHGE piston controller fails • One risk of particular interest is the failure of the temperature controller mechanism in the GHGE Design refinement and thorough testing will result in a much lesser risk of this component failing. The risk of antenna failure will be lessened through the previously mentioned prototyping procedures. Possibility Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 91

User Guide Compliance • Mass : current predictions have payload at 13. 33 lbf • CG: Although the CG is yet to be found through testing, it is believed to lie in the proper space, due in part to properly distributed battery cells and the relative magnitude of mass in the GHGE. It can be noted from the solid models that this experiment lies in the central axis of the payload. • Batteries: current power predictions have the total battery count as 15 9 volt alkaline batteries.

Sharing Logistics • The optical port from the Puerto Rico team canister will be used as the Special Port for the WVU payload. • This is the only sort of sharing for this flight, because the WVU team purchased the entire canister space. Rock. Sat-C 2012 CDR 94
