  2. Fall 2006 Projects • Experimental Hybrid Rocket Motor Matt McKeown • Vertical Trajectory System Jeff Lydecker • Introduction to Flight Vehicles Jeff Moss • Hy-Flights Redesign Brandon Barnett

  3. Project: Experimental Hybrid • Project Goals • 50-100lbf. thrust hybrid motor • Use safe, non-toxic propellants • Create all ground support and data acquisition equipment • Design / Development • Previous proven designs • Hybrid design program • Results • More work in combustion efficiency needs to be done • Michigan Space Grant Award • Several tests conducted…

  4. Project: Vertical Trajectory System • Project Goals • Design and develop a system capable of detecting and measuring forces experienced during flight (Oct. 29). • Implement a cold gas thruster system to correcting any perturbations from vertical flight (Dec. 13). • Experiment with composite pressurized tanks • Project Funding • Michigan Space Grant Award

  5. Project: Introduction to Flight Vehicles • Project Goals • Train Interested Members in the Skills Required to Design, Build and Launch a High Power Rocket • Demonstrate Level 1 and 2 Building Techniques • Fiberglass Hand Lay-up • Launch Preparation • Dual Deployment Recovery System • Barometric Altimeter • Propulsion • I-800 • Skidmark K555 • Project Funding • MASA General Funds • Individual Contributions

  6. Project: Hy-Flights Redesign • Project Goals • Use only composite components • Maximum altitude—10,000 ft. • Maximum speed—Mach 1 • Design / Development • Computer stability calculations • Carbon fiber composite lay-ups • Novel recovery system tests • Project Funding • MASA General Funds

  7. MASA in Muskegon: Project Goals Represent the University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering Department in a High School technical development program. MASA will be returning to the MAC event at the end of the Winter 2006 Semester
