20 FMPA Payload Fragile Material Protection Apparatus Hydraulic system of shock absorbers Houses inner capsule filled with packing peanuts Simple yet functional design, outer and inner ring assembly Easy accessibility, screw off top and large outer ring opening Success Criteria: FMPA can be installed within payload bay Fragile cargo can be easily loaded within FMPA FMPA cargo survives entirety of vehicle flight FMPA and cargo are recoverable. FMPA is reusable. 1/27/ USLI CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 20

22 Payload Integration FMPA will be epoxied within the payload bay as shown above. Outer ring allows for easy maneuverability to install or extract fragile cargo from inner capsule. Screw on cap seals cargo snugly with packing peanuts for additional protection 1/27/ USLI CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 22

FMPA Drop Test Objective inspect the receptiveness of the FMPA to shock. Motor impulse will be simulated as impulse from FMPA hitting the ground.

23 FMPA Drop Test Objective inspect the receptiveness of the FMPA to shock. Motor impulse will be simulated as impulse from FMPA hitting the ground. Potential energy from specific heights will be synonymous to kinetic energy developed from first second of motor ignition. Fragile material will be loaded after preliminary testing. Independent variables Number and stiffness of shock absorbers. Corrections will be made via increasing/decreasing shock absorbers or installing different shock absorbers with more optimal specifications. 1/27/ USLI CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 23

25 Requirements Verification Status Vehicle Requirements Projected vehicle is below target altitude. Weight reduction analysis in place. Stability, rail exit velocity, and T/W ratio are still within acceptable limits. FMPA was not flown during subscale flight. Ballasted instead. FMPA will be flown on fullscale demonstration flight. Recovery System Requirements Electronic tracking device Experiment Requirements Testing methods confirmed. Materials procured Safety Requirements FMEA, PHA, and Environmental Concerns updated as necessary. General Requirements Spring Educational Engagement Events planned for spring semester. Team Derived Requirements FMPA Construction Underway Testing to begin as soon as prototype is completed. 1/27/ USLI CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 25
