156B Week 1

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

- Initial prototype machined from delrin completed
- Design of U's and Dots semi-finalized and ready for prototyping data transfer

Accomplishments from Previous Week

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

- Contact/Post questions to the team Slack so that consulting engineers can provide feedback

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

- Consider 7075 Al in place of 6061 Al if considering tapping threads as 6061 is too weak/may cause galling - via Zoom presentation

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Risks and Areas of Concern

- Lead times for manufacturers may be extended by Covid-19 Pandemic
- Lack of machine shop may cause issues with design revisions etc. due to lack of rapid prototyping facilities (e.g. 2-day vs 2-week)
- Scope of project may be narrowed or changed in several ways
  - No machinable prototype may mean that all work done digitally in CAD
  - Exos Aerospace has been nonresponsive re: launch window etc.

Resources or Information Required but not Available

- Dimensional constraints for packaging, design and assembly in the rocket.
- Requirements for data transfer and protocol
- Machine design tolerance allowed
