2 Outline Structures Nosecone Body tubes Bulkheads Fins Tailcone Recovery System Layout Testing Propulsion Ox Tank Plumbing Injector Chamber Nozzle Testing Hydrostatic Cold Flow Hot Fire System Validation Test data presentation Trajectory System Operating space (altitude) Flight Profile (engine test) 2

3 Overview Design & Analysis Construction Validation 3

4 Nose Cone Design -Materials: Carbon fiber sheet 60 minute cure epoxy resin -High tensile and compressive strength FR = 3:1 Analysis - Half-Power profile -y = R x L - Fineness Ratio -STAR-CCM+ Mach 0.8

5 Nose Cone Construction -Low-density foam core from CNC -Carbon fiber vacuum bagged over foam core -Foam dissolved out with acetone Flight Performance -Withstood flight loads as expected -No damage throughout flight

6 Body Tubes Analysis +45 /-45 weave angle Fiber/matrix modeling difficulty Expected Load ~725 lbf Proven via flight results Construction Older Tubes 2 layers Newer tubes Compression fit tape 1 layer Validation 90 (axial) Resistant to longitudinal bending 90 (hoop): Resists internal/external pressure 45 Ideal to resist pure torsion - 4 Main Body Tube sections 6

7 Bulkheads Design Commonalities Material: Aluminum 6061-T6 Considerations Attachment methods Well nut Nut/bolt Rivets JB weld Loading Ease of Assembly Layout 4 main bulkheads Electronics Bay Connections: Recovery well nuts Bay doors bolt/nut Payload bolt/nut Body Tubes JB weld Joint Bulkhead Connections: Body Tubes JB weld Thrust Bulkhead Connections: Body Tubes JB weld Top - well nut Bottom Nut/Bolt Tail Cone Connector Connections: Body Tubes JB weld Tail Cone - Rivets 7

8 Bulkheads E-bay Bulkhead Analysis Buckling Factor Expected Critical Load ~2870 lbf Estimated Critical Load ~3800 lbf Length 12 in Material 6061-T6 Yield Strength 7.99x psi Rod thickness in Design Analyze Build 8

9 Bulkheads Thrust Bulkhead Need for Quick Disconnect feeds Prefilling tank with oxidizer posed a safety hazard Remote and removable filling system needed to be developed Original engine bulkhead needed to be redesigned to fit said system Design Restrictions Little internal space. Original rocket was not designed to house a detachable mechanism for feeding line. Check-valve needs to fit between QD and oxidizer tank Original Dimensions Rocket External Radius 3.25 in Distance from plumbing to bulkhead 2.63 in Distance from cross to body tube 2.38 in Female QD length* 2.5 in *Requires 2 in of solid tubing after QD 9

10 Bulkheads Thrust Bulkhead Discarded design Ideas Placing female QD internally at an angle Placing male QD directly at cross QD system will not fit inside rocket. System needs to sit outside rocket 10

11 Bulkheads Thrust Bulkhead External feeding lines Quick disconnect placed behind fins to reduce drag Rubber plug centers line and reduces vibrations Clamp on tail-cone secures bottom Bulkhead redesign Ease assembly Machined from single piece of metal General Specifications Bulkhead material Aluminum 6061-T6 Bulkhead weight 1.90 lb Fill line material Stainless steel Fill line external length 20 in Fill line outer diameter 0.25 in 1050 lbf 11

12 Fins & Stability Airfoil Design NACA 65A-010 CFD optimization Planform Design OpenRocket optimization Geometric constraints Dynamic Stability RASAero w/crosswind 12
