  1. MEP(Martian Environmental Pod) Critical Design Review Fall 2003 Aerospace Engineering Department University of Colorado-Boulder

  2. Presentation Overview • Descoping the Project • Request for Action (RFA’s) • System Architecture • Mechanical Design Elements • Electrical Design Elements • Integration Plan • Verification and Test Plan • Project Management Plan

  3. Descoping the Project • Thermal System • 1 DOF instead of 2 DOF • “Flower configuration” not necessary due to no requirement of light concentration • No phase change materials (paraffin) due to complexity • Actuation System • Paraffin actuator to mechanical system

  4. Request for Action

  5. Project Objective The overall objective of the proposed project is to conceive, design, fabricate, integrate, test and verify a deployable greenhouse for a robotic Mars Lander.

  6. Project Requirements • Inflatable and deployable structure • Capable of housing one Arabidopsis plant but dimensionally not exceed 25’’ x 25” x10’’ • Mass must not exceed 3.5 kg (7.72 lbs) • Power consumption must not exceed: • 16 W-hrs. at night • 30 W-hrs during the day • Maintain delta pressure at 10 – 50 kPa • Monitor temperature inside greenhouse and reduce heat loss

  7. System Architecture • Greenhouse • Greenhouse structure • Mounting hardware • Pressure system • Thermal Shield and Structure • Platform • Petals with gear and axle • Electrical System • Power supply • Software • Sensors • Thermal Actuation

  8. System Design(Stowed)

  9. Stored System • Dimensions: 21.75’’ x 8.3’’ x 4.3’’ • Under initial condtions • Configuration for flight • Greenhouse structure is deflated • Configuration for daytime • Greenhouse structure is inflated • Allows for photosynthetic light

  10. System DesignFully Deployed

  11. System Design • Configuration for night • Retards heat loss • Protects greenhouse from dust storms

  12. Greenhouse Design Elements James Ball

  13. Manufacturing Enclosure Material: • Kapton HN (Type 100) Manufacturing: • Shell made out of rectangular piece of Kapton and fastened with solvent. • Circular top will be attached to one end with solvent

  14. Stress on Greenhouse • Stress • Tensile Stress of Kapton = 165 MPa

  15. Mounting Greenhouse • Cylinder will be sealed around ring using solvent • The ring will be secured to the top box using screws and a rubber o-ring

  16. Ring

  17. O-ring

  18. Pressure System • Single gauge regulator - Output: 0 - 6080 kPa - 60 psi safety relief valve - Feed the control valve gas at 50 kPa • 5 lb CO2 Tank

  19. Control Valve • Latching-type, high density, interface 3-way solenoid valve - 5 Volts - 1100 Lohm ( 1.5 minutes to inflate) - 5.5 mW per switch - Dimensions: 1.12" long x 0.28" in. diameter - Mount in electronics package with tubes running into greenhouse

  20. Control Valve Mounting • Mounted on the platform next to the gear slot • Will be underneath the top box • A small tube through top of box to enclosure

  21. Check Valve • CCPI55100695 check valve - Cracks at 69 kPa - Flow rate = 250 Lohm - Passive - 5.5 mm diameter and 7.5 mm length - Mounted in the top box with one end inside of the enclosure

  22. Check valve Mounting Will mount at the top of box with one end in the greenhouse Solvent to hold it in place

  23. Pressure System Tank Regulator Control Valve Greenhouse Check Valve

  24. Test Plans • Verify that the valve inflates enclosure to 50 kPa and then turns off • Fulfill the requirement that the enclosure is inflatable • Interpret the data to analyze how well it maintains proper pressure levels • Basic set up will include a CO2 tank, and a regulator to send CO2 to the control valve • This test will also be done in a wind tunnel and outside in the cold to verify that it operates in various conditions

  25. Thermal Shield and Assembly Sara Stemler

  26. Material Aluminum • densityal = 2700 kg/m3 • k = 237 W/m*K Acrylic • densityacrylic = 1400 kg/m3 • k = 0.27 W/m*K  Acrylic reduces the weight and has a lower thermal conductivity by a magnitude of 10

  27. Thermal Analysis Thermal Conductivity • kKapton = 0.12 W/m*K • kacrylic = 0.2 W/m*K Thickness of Material • tKapton = 5 mil • tacrylic = 0.1’’ Heat Transfer Rate

  28. Torsion Analysis Shear stress: Polar Moment of Inertia: Torque: T = F*d

  29. Torque Analysis • Torque produced by petals = 367 oz-in. • Diameter of rod > 0.083 in. • Shear modulus (G) of acrylic = 167,000 psi • Polar moment of inertias (r = 0.25 in.) • Solid rod = 3.8*10-4 m4 • Hollow rod = 3.6*10-4 m4  JH > Js meaning lower stresses and less weight

  30. Gearing System • 4:1 gear ratio will quarter the torque necessary to operate the petals • 0.5’’ diameter gear mounted on motor shaft • 2’’ diameter gear mounted on axle

  31. Petal Assembly • Varies in length from 7.5’’ – 14.25’’ • Varies in width from 6.5’’ – 8.3’’ • Tabs are placed along each petal to “catch” the subsequent petal during deployment
