Overview
Overview
HASMAT was a boosted Dart configuration. There was one motor at the bottom of the booster, and when the motor burned out, the dart would separate and continue to the target apogee of 10,000 ft. Airbrakes in the dart would deploy to slow down the craft to achieve a more accurate apogee. For ease of integration of A&P electronic systems, the team created the AARM (Airbrakes and Avionics Rotational Mount). The AARM slid into the dart, key feature at the bottom of the mount would lock into a bulkhead in the dart with a set screw.
Payload
Payload
The payload for HASMAT was a 4’x4’x12’ CubeSat payload. In the payload, there were GPS, cameras, and experiment electronics for the rocket’s systems. The experiment was a valve actuation experiment, testing the effectiveness of a valve under the forces of a rocket flight.
Recovery
Recovery
There were two recovery bays for the dart and the booster; these contained altimeters and the power for ejection systems, these bays were protected by bulkheads. Additionally, the dart and the booster both had a reefed parachute which initially deployed restrained to a smaller size. Then, when the dart and the booster were closer to the ground, the parachutes would deploy to full size to fully slow down HASMAT’s descent.
