1.3) Payload Summary

The payload is going to consist of two major components. The first component is a quadcopter. This quadcopter will have 4 arms that can be folded out from a central core that allows the quadcopter to fit into the rocket. An electric motor powered by a 7.4 volt motor will spin a prop on the end of each quadcopter arm that will provide the lift. The second main component of the payload will be a camera system that has the ability to pan and tilt giving it a full range of motion in which it can film a ground

location. The video that the camera records will be transmitted to a ground station, consisting of two operators, one who will control the camera and the other who will fly the quadcopter using a live video feed.

Section 2 Changes Since CDR

2.1) Changes Made to Vehicle Criteria
2.1.1) CG and Mass: The actual CG is now located at 63.5 in. The stability margin is now 1.96. The overall mass is still ~46 lbs, but the distribution estimates needed adjustments.

2.2) Changes Made to Payload Criteria

2.2.1) Material for Quadcopter Arms
The material for the quadcopter arms has been changed from fiberglass to C-channel aluminum. This change was made because the timescale was not adequate for stresstesting composite arms. There was some concern over the bending and vibration through composite materials.

2.2.2) Lockout Mechanism Orientation:

The lockout mechanisms will now be placed horizontally on the quadcopter arms. This decision was made to make better use of the space available. It was also determined that the effectiveness of this orientation would be more solid.

2.3) Changes Mad to Activity Plan

More detailed information about our outreach activities have been included. Future activities will include a Science Night at an elementary school, where we will involve approximately 100 students, grade 1-5, with balloon rocket activities, space crafts, and encourage them to explore space-related studies.

Section 3: Vehicle Criteria

3.1) Testing and Design of Launch Vehicle
3.1.1) Mission Statement
Team CySLI is a dedicated team of individuals that will be designing and constructing a rocket which will ascend to one mile in altitude (AGL) and successfully maintain the integrity of the payload.

3.1.2) Requirements
The rocket must be able to reach an altitude on one mile in a safe fashion as well as carry a scientific payload. It must carry the payload in such a way as to keep it secure during launch and safely deploy the payload. The rocket must also be recoverable and reusable.

3.1.3) Mission Success Criteria

In order to evaluate the performance of the vehicle, we have set forth the following criteria. - Reach one mile within 5% (+/- 264ft) - Safely carry the payload - Use a dual deployment recovery system to return in a safe and timely manner

3.1.4) Structural Systems Review

3.1.4.1) Airframes The airframe consists of three primary sections. The first section is the booster section of the rocket. It contains the through wall fin mounts to the motor mount tube. Once the rocket is assembled, it will also be the location of the drogue parachute. The second section is the electronics bay. This is permantly attatched to the third section and acts as the coupler tube that will hold the third section (payload bay) to the first section (booster section). The electronics bay will contain the main altimeter that will be used for the competition. It will also contain the redundant altimeter that will be attached to secondary charges for redundancy. The third section is the payload bay. This section of the rocket will hold the payload (quadcopter) and the main parachute. This section will eject the payload and the main parachute at the same time, simplifying the ejection
5

charges resulting in less chance of failure. The booster section and the payload section are each made from 48 inch long , 7.7 inch diameter high powered rocket phenolic tubing. Both of these sections were wrapped in 4 layers of 1/64 inch thick fiberglass and resin. See figure 1. The resulting thickness of fiberglass and resin rapped around the airframe was 1/16 of an inch thick. This gave the rocket additional compressive strength in order to support our large payload without damaging the structural integrity of the rocket. The electronics bay consist of a 7.5 inch diameter coupler tube. This section was not reinforced with fiberglass because the forces exerted on this part are only those that may come from a horizontal direction holding the booster and payload section together. Figure 3.1 3.1.4.2) Fins The fins were made in the Iowa State University composites labs from fiberglass and resin. They consist of 18 layers of 1/64 inch thick fiberglass cloth resulting in a fin thickness of 1/8 of an inch thick. See figures 3.2 and 3.3. The fins cut out of the hardened fiberglass and resin in the desired trapezoidal shape. See figure 3.4. The fins were mounted via through wall mounting and fillets of epoxy mixed with carbon fiber for strength, were applied to each side of the fin where it encountered the airframe. The same epoxy with carbon fiber fillets were applied to the fins at the motor tube. The remaining area between the fins, airframe and MMT were filled with expanding foam to add a final form of structural stability.

Figure 3.2

Figure 3.3

Figure 3.4

3.1.4.3) Bulkheads and Attachment Hardware Bulkheads were made from inch plywood. At points were U-bolts were installed, an additional block of inch thick block of plywood was used to reinforce the area and help distribute the load from the U-bolt to the actual bulkhead. The U-bolts that will connect the parachutes via shock cord are inch thick and 3.5 inch wide in order to safely carry the load of the rocket during ejections and descent of the rocket. All point were the U-bolts were attached were also epoxied to prevent the bolts from loosening during launch.

3.1.5) Vehicle Electrical Components

3.1.5.1) Altimeters Two altimeters are used for the deployment of the parachutes and payload. The primary altimeter is perfect flight and the redundant one is a R-DAS Altimeter test. 3.1.5.2) Altimeter and Battery Retention Each altimeter is bolted to the electronics board. There are two separate battery bays attached to the electronics board. The electronics board is secured inside the electronics bay vie two inch rods that run from the bulkheads on both sides of it. Each battery is placed into the battery bays and zipped tied down to prevent movement. To ensure the zip ties do not slip off, tape is applied around the battery bays.

3.1.5.3) Wires and Switches There is a key switch on the exterior of the air frame so that each altimeter can be turned for launch. See Figure 3.5. This also provides a method to check continuity of each altimeter once in the rocket. This way the beeps one another cannot be confused. All wires used in the electronics bay have been soldered to any mating surface in which they must provide current. The only spot they are not soldered are to the altimeters themselves in which they are Figure 3.5 screwed down tight.

Status Verified Verified Verified Verified Verified

The R-DAS has been verified during prior flights. The R-DAS has been flown on 3 prior missions and has performed exceptionally. The R-DAS experienced a nominal flight during the full-scale test launch on March 10, 2012. PerfectFlite Altimter Testing- Verified The PerfectFlite altimeter has been verified during its 5 prior flights. Each time the altimeter has performed as needed. The PerfectFlite experienced a nominal flight during the full-scale test launch on March 10, 2012. Ejection Charge Testing- Verified To ensure that the separation occurs at apogee and that the payload/main parachute eject at 1000 ft, ejection charge testing was done to verify that the correct amount of black powder had been calculated. The drogue deployment was done beginning at 3 grams and was found to not be enough. The next charge of 5 grams was proven to be enough to ensure a deployment of the drogue parachute. The payload electronics were replaced with a simulated mass so that during ejection testing, they would not be damaged from multiple test and the tumbling that occurred when ejected. The payload/main parachute testing began at 4 grams and went in 2 gram incraments until there was a full ejection of the payload and main parachute. The calculated mass for this was 7 grams but due to the large amount of mass and length of the airframe, it required 14 grams of black powder. Fiberglass reinforcement-Verified The phenolic body tube was wrapped in the fiberglass to add a structural aspect to the airframe but to also add a factor of toughness. The mass of the rocket at impact could create enough energy to damage the phenolic airframe, but because of the airframe reinforcement, no damage was shown upon post flight inspection. Full Scale Vehicle Test- Verified The full scale launch was on March 10th, 2012. The launch went off flawlessly with one minor issue. When the drogue parachute deployed at apogee it ejected the payload. This was due to insufficient shear pins for
10

retention. When the rocket reached 1000 ft on its descent, the main parachute deployed exactly as it should have. The shear pin problem has already been addressed and fixed to ensure no minor issues may arise again.

3.1.7) Integrity of Design

3.1.7.1) Suitability of Fin Shape To stabilize the rocket we used 4 trapezoidal shaped fins made from fiberglass here at the Iowa State composites lab. Fiberglass was chosen because of its high strength and was easy to cut our fin shape out of. The fins were also air foiled to decrease the drag profile. 3.1.7.2) Proper Assembly Procedures Booster Section Loads- the forces generated from the thrust of the motor will be transferred to the motor mount tube by the motor casing. 3 centering rings are attached to the MMT in which the force is transferred to the airframe. Since the fins are through the wall mounting, the MMT also transfers force to the fins. Booster Section Construction- The phenolic tubing was wrapped in 4 layers of fiberglass cloth and resin and then let dry. Using the proper safety equipment, it was then sanded smooth to reduce drag. 4 fin slots were marked and cut out at 90 degrees from one another. The MMT had the two upper centering rings installed with epoxy mixed with carbon fiber shards. The MMT was mounted to the airframe via the centering rings using more epoxy and carbon fiber. Fins were installed through the fin slots and attached to the MMT and the airframe using epoxy and carbon fiber. The fins had fillets formed with the epoxy for the strongest connection to the MMT and airframe. Once dry, the two part expanding foam was mixed and put in the booster section between fins to add the structural component. The final centering ring was installed and then the motor retention was epoxied in place. Payload Section Loads- The forces generated from the lower assembly will be transferred to the payload section through the airframe. This will stay connected to the booster section using the dual purpose coupler tube/electronics bay.

Payload Section Construction- The phenolic tubing was wrapped in 4 layers of fiberglass cloth and resin and then let dry. Using the proper safety equipment, it was then sanded smooth to reduce drag. The coupler tube with the bulkhead mounted on it was then epoxied to the payload section.

3.1.8) Workmanship
The quality of vehicle will rely directly on the workmanship of those constructing it. Therefore, to manufacture the vehicle properly, it is necessary to practice a high level of workmanship during construction. In order to do this, the team will always have a team member with the necessary High Power Certification present at all times of construction.

3.1.9) Safety and Failure Analysis

The following risks to the vehicle and project have been identified and are followed by an appropriate plan that will be implemented to reduce or eliminate that risk. Risk Mitigation Table Risk Altimeter is damaged during test Risk Mitigation Altimeter will be mounted securely during test A new pack of batteries will be purchased prior to launch and tested for proper voltage Fins will have large fillets of epoxy with the airframe and the MMT. A low approximation of black power will be tested first, then more will be added if necessary Only tested altimeters ejection charge amounts will be used on the full scale test and the launch will be conducted using safe,

3.1.10) Full Scale Test Flight

On March 10th, 2012 the USLI Cysli rocket was launched in Princeton, Illinois. See Figure 3.9. The rocket performed as expected with one minor issue with the payload deployment. The payload release when the ejection charge for the drogue parachute fired. The momentum of the payload moving forward ejected it from the payload section of the rocket leaving the main parachute in the rocket still. The payload ejecting at apogee was not desired, but was not necessarily a bad thing. It gave our payload more time to interact with the environment and prove our concept that it would fall very stable under the parachute until the time to release it. The rocket portion continued its descent to the ground and as planned, Figure 3.9 ejected the main parachute (the payload would have been ejected at the same time) at 1000 feet and landed safely with no damage. To prevent the payload from ejecting at apogee more shear pins will be used so that it will be ejected with the main and reduce the amount of time the payload spends drifting. The rocket launched that day with the Cesaroni L1115 rocket motor in 15-20 mph winds. The altimeters recorded that the rocket reached an altitude of 4,650 feet. See Figure 3.10. The Rocksim simulations that were ran, calculated that our
Figure 3.10 14

rocket with a polished finish would result in an altitude of 4887 feet with this wind speed. We believe the rougher finish on the rocket is what resulted in the 237 foot difference. To gain the altitude the final finish of the rocket will be sanded and polished more to achieve the correct drag profile. According to Rocksim this will get us the correct altitude in 5-10 mph ideal wind conditions. The simulations ran with Rocksim calculated our rocket to weigh ~46 pounds with a loaded motor. The fully assembled rocket with the motor came out to weigh ~45 pounds. This is remarkably close to what was expected and is one of the major factors that make us believe the low altitude is due to the increased drag on the rocket.

3.2) Recovery Subsystem

3.2.1) Recovery Components
3.2.1.1) Main Parachute The main parachute is a 18 foot diameter. The recovery weight of our rocket at this point does not include the payload. This makes the recovery weight ~27.5 pounds. With this parachute, the descent rate slows to 13.5 ft/s. This gives the payload section a KE of 27 ft-lbs and the booster section a KE of 51 ft-lbs. 3.2.1.2) Drogue Parachute To slow the rocket from apogee to deployment of the main parachute we will be using a 48 drogue parachute from Public Missiles. This parachute is specifically designed for drogue use. This should slow the rocket to approximately 50 ft/s. 3.2.1.3) Shock Chord To keep the vehicle components connected and attach the parachute we will be using a 3/4 nylon shock chord. This material is rate for 5500 lbs force and is resistant to the high temperatures of the ejection charges. 3.2.1.4) Electronics For a safe recovery, we are using a completely redundant ejection charge system. One altimeter will be a Rocket Data Acquisition System (R-DAS) from AED Electronics and the other will be the required PerfectFlite MWAD altimeter. Each altimeter will be wired to two separate ejection charges, resulting in four charges total for the vehicle. Both altimeter will be wired in the same way as Figure 3.11. This minimizes the room for error by using the most failsafe system possible with two separate altimeters. Each altimeter will have its own battery and will be activated by separate key switches accessible from the outside of the rocket.
15

Each altimeter will be test in a real-life launch to make sure the altimeter has no issues.

Figure 3.11

3.2.1.5) Ejection Charges Each ejection charge will be composed of a plastic vessel that contains the FFFF black powder along with the igniter that will be wired to the altimeter. The black powder will be sized and then a static test will be performed to ensure proper separation is reached with the amount of powder used. 3.2.1.6) Quick links and U-bolts The quick links used are inch diameter quick links from Giant Leap Rocketry. These haven proven effective in the past and have enough strength to hold the shock cord to the U-bolt. The U-bolts are inch thick by 3.5 inches wide. These were chosen because of their ability to withstand high loads and then distribute them evenly across the bulkhead. 3.2.1.7) Bulkheads The bulkheads used are made from inch plywood. The point where the Ubolts go through are reinforced with a block of inch plywood. This helps distribute the load more evenly over the bulkhead. The U-bolt also has a washer that runs to both sides of it that help prevent too much stress concentration. 3.2.1.8) Tracking The tracking device being used uses a frequency of 222.23 MHz. This provide us with a flat ground 5 mile range. The range in hilly areas decreases to 3 miles. Our test launch and RockSim simulation put our rocket in the windy conditions well with in this range. The tracking divise will be attached to the shock cord of the drogue parachute. This allows for it to be open to the air for a longer duration of time which decreases the chance of interference from the rocket. 3.2.1.9) Attachment Scheme
16

To connect the shock chord to the recovery components, we will be using quick links rated to 1540 lbs force, available from Giant Leap Rocketry. These quick links will be attached to the upper and lower assemblies by a U-Bolt attached to a bulkhead that has been epoxied inside of the airframe. At apogee, the vehicle will deploy the drogue parachute from the lower section. The rocket will then descend to ~1000 and then deploy the main parachute from the upper assembly. All sections will be tethered via the nylon shock cord. Both the drogue parachute and the main parachute will be folded so that when ejected they will unfold. Both parachutes will be protected from the ejection charges by nomex cloth. This will protect the parachutes from burning of the ejection charge.

3.2.2.2) Testing Results The ejection charge testing for the drogue parachute started at 3 grams and that was found to not be enough. The next charge was 5 grams and that gave us the desired separation. The main parachute and payload section started with 5 grams and increased at 2 gram increments until we reached our desired deployment at 14 grams of black powder. The altimeters were testes for functionality on the ground and then during the full scale test launch they were found to be fully operational. All charges had been blown and deployed all the mass that they were supposed to. 3.2.2.3) Parachute Size The size of the main parachute was chosen because of its ability to slow the rocket to a safe landing velocity. The mass of the rocket is rather large giving rise to the need for the 18 foot diameter parachute. The drogue parachute was chosen because it slowed the rocket to the 50 to 75 ft/s for that stage of the recovery system. The parachute for the payload was also chosen because it slowed the velocity of the payload to a safe landing or release velocity.

3.2.3) Safety and failure Analysis

The following failure modes that could occur during recovery of the vehicle have been paired with the necessary safety procedures to reduce the chance of injury. Recovery Safety and Failure Table Possible Failure Ejection charges ignite during rocket preparation.

3.3) Mission Performance Predictions

3.3.1) Mission Performance Predictions
For the mission to be a success, the vehicle must perform the following: - Reach an altitude of 5,280 ft within 5% (264 ft) - Safely carry the payload until deployment - Be recoverable and reusable

3.3.2) Flight Simulations and Predictions

The flight simulations were completed using a Cesaroni L1115 motor. The simulation was done for four conditions. Simulation 0 was done from 0-2 mph winds. Simulation 1 was done from 3-7 mph winds. Simulation 2 was done from 8-14 mph winds and
20

simulation 3 was done with 15-25 mph winds. The simulation was slighted altered so that the simulation has the same Cg as the actual rocket.

Figure 3.11 Simulation 3 has very similar conditions as the full scale test launch. The test launch reached 4650 feet and the simulation shows 4595 feet for these conditions. In simulation 0, the rocket should drift 18 feet down wind of the launch pad In simulation 1, the rocket should drift 101 feet down wind of the launch pad In simulation 2, the rocket should drift 1073 feet down wind of the launch pad In simulation 3, the rocket should drift 2543 feet down wind of the launch pad Payload drift is comparable to all above simulations for those conditions.

21

The following simulation was done under the conditions stated for simulation 0. In ideal conditions our rocket will reach a max altitude of 5040 feet with a max velocity of 589 ft/s

3.3.5) Scale Test and Drag Analysis

On January 16, 2012, CySLI launched the scale model rocket of the one that will be launched for the competition. The scale rocket launched was 1:5.6 scale of the full sized rocket. The air frame, nose cone, and fins where all kept to this scale factor in order to maintain the proper dimension of the scale rocket. According to RockSim calculations, the scale rocket went to approximately 500 ft. Due to the fact that our full size rocket was supposed to be overstable, extra attention was place on the scale rocket launch trajectory to see if weather cocking would alter our design of our full scale launch. The scale launch was done in somewhat windy conditions, ~10 mph, and this gave us a clear picture on what trajectory our rocket will take and that we are happy with this. Even though the scale launch was a success, the stability of our rocket throughout the build of the full scale will be kept in mind.

The parachute will be packed by experienced by a level 2 certified rocketeer in a proven pattern. The parachute will be packed by experienced by a level 2 certified rocketeer in a proven pattern. A redundant altimeter is used. A redundant altimeter is used and all batteries are zip tied and taped into place. A tracking device with a 5 mile range will be used. Shock cord around ejection charges will be wrapped in heat resistant tape to prevent burning. All bulk heads area total of 1 inch thick with washers to prevent pull through The launch stand will be checked for stability and that a large enough base is being used The shock cord will be inspected for damage that may cause it to break under stress. Quick links will be checked for damage. Large quick links will be used to provide higher strength than needed. The rocket is using a 18 foot parachute that slows the rocket to 13.3 ft/s. This lowers the KE of the booster section to ~50 ft-lbs and the payload section to ~25 ft-lbs.

Highest Likely Hood of Failure in order beginning with most likely 10. This is a large parachute and can easily become tangled or knotted somehow on deployment. If this would occur the rocket would fall under streamer conditions. As
31

this rocket is to big to use a streamer, it would land with a high KE. This could cause series damage to people and propertie if it does not land in the field. 9. The drogue could become tangled in the shock cord or for some reason does not open. This would cause the rocket to fall a much faster rate than expected. This provides a much larger issue when the main parachute deploys. In this failure mode the likely hood of the main parachute zippering up the side of the payload section. It would still fall under main parachute but the rocket would have suffer from huge amounts of damage. 17 Depending on what point the shock cord broke, any part of the rocket could fall without a parachute reaching terminal velocity. With the size of this rocket, that would be high enough KE to seriously damage property and harm personal. 1 The only way to check the integrity of the MMT epoxy is to use visual inspection and firmness check of the epoxy. There is also an entire centering ring we are not able to inspect. If the epoxy were to fail, it would send the L1115 and the motor casings through the top of the rocket and then in any direction. This could cause serious damage or death because of the very high speed that the motor casing would acquire during the burn time. 18 If the quick link was to break. It would have very similar consequences to that of failure mode 17. Depending which quick link broke, any one part of the rocket could fall without parachute. This would allow the rocket part to reach terminal velocity on impact causing serious damage to people or property. 13 The rocket is supposed to only drift 2500 feet in high winds. This on a flat plane is still close enough to see the rocket, but if the rocket were to drift behind a grove of trees or over a hill and out of the line of site, it will have tracking device that will allow us to find it when not visible or farther drift than expected. 3.3.9.3) Safety hazards

3.3.9.4) Environmental Concerns One environmental safety concern is a spent motor. This will be discarded in the proper trash receptacle to prevent any harm to the environment. The second environmental concern is the black powder. Extra care will be taken to make sure none is spilt or discarded in the surrounding areas.

3.3.10) Payload integration

3.3.10.1) Payload Integration Plan The payload has 4 arms that all hinge at the quadcopter core so the arms can fold up vertically. Each arm is spring loaded so that they fold flat when there is nothing keeping them in place. The body tube of the rocket is what will keep the arms in the folded up position. The arms of the quadcopter will push against the body tube be held in position when preparing for launch. The arms will be attached to a base that is 7.39 inches so that it fits directly into our body tube
33

like a coupler tube. A 5 inch coupler tube was used for the enclosure of the structure of the quadcopter to provide perfect fit. It will have the electronics under that and in an actual coupler tube that fits in the rocket as well. The coupler tube is then attached to the nosecone of the rocket. Once that devise is inserted into the upper portion of the rocket, shear pins are used to secure it in place for launch. 3.3.10.2) Installation, Removal, and Fit of Payload The payload is built to fit in the rockets upper body tube. It can be removed with the nosecone as needed. The payload will be secured in the rocket with shear pins. The nose cone is permanently attached to the payload so that when the payload deploys the nose will deploy with it.

Figure 3.18

Figure 3.19 (above)

Figure 3.19 shows that the configureation of the quadcopters arm allows them to fold up into a vertical orientation. This allows it to slide into the rocket as shown. Figure 3.20 shows that the structure of the quadcopter is a direct fit that allows it to slide out when removed or Figure 3.20 deployed in flight. Just as a coupler tube does for the dual deployment. Figure 3.21 shows the final fit of the payload into the rocket. It shows the structure completely within the rocket leaving the nosecone. The nost cone has the same outer diamter of the rocket for a smooth low drag profile transition.

Figure 3.21

3.3.10.3) Compatibility of Elements

34

The payload is built to coexist with the elements of the rocket. This provides the payload every opportunity to deploy successfully. It uses a coupler tube that is specifically designed to fit in the rocket. The design of the payload was built using these constraints so that there would be no issue with the payload fit. 3.3.10.4) Simplicity of Integration Procedure This approach for installing the payload allows for easy installation and removal in a quick and timely manner. It provides a direct fit in the rocket. No extra steps other than the payload arms folding are needed to install it into the body tube. 3.3.10.5) Payload Housing Integrity The housing for the payload is made from high powered rocketry phenolic tubing that is designed to with stand forces of high powered rocketry. This provides the payload with a strong housing to prevent damage to the internal components as well as the structure itself.

Section 4 Payload Criteria

4.1) Experiment Concept
The goal of this project is to create a stable and versatile platform for video reconnaissance. Parachute recovery is very limited in control, and often causes spinning and oscillation. The goal of this project is to find an alternative style of payload recover optimized for video reconnaissance. The flight profile for the payload in descent calls for a portion in parachute recovery and a portion using a powered quadcopter configuration. The effectiveness of both systems will be compared against each other.

4.1.1) Creativity and Originality:

This experiment is in many ways an expansion on the work we did last year on Controlled Descent Vehicles. This year we are taking the project much further and testing the efficacy of a quadcopter system deployed from a rocket as opposed to parachute recovery. An onboard camera is placed inside the payload, which will be controllable from the ground. We are one of the first teams to have ever tried this and are exploring some new ground.

4.1.2) Uniqueness and Significance:

The applications of our design are many. Summarized below are a few examples: Military drones: Current military spy drones are typically hand launched from a safe distance from the battlefield, and take time to approach their target. With the rapid delivery of a rocket system to a great altitude and range, this system could provide a reliable delivery system to the Forward Edge of Battle Area while keeping the drone crew a safe distance from the action. Also, in the past teams have attempted to deploy aircraft style drones from a rocket. Our helicopter payload will have a simple (and thus reliable) deployment system, and will have a steadier platform for camera operation. Rescue operations: In a situation where speed is paramount, a surveillance drone outfitted with cameras in IR and visual wavelengths can be deployed at a high altitude in minutes. This system would be able to locate people in the wilderness or victims of a natural disaster with heat sensing cameras. Once located, a rescue team can be dispatched to retrieve them. This system is much faster than sending out a search party, even if it must be sent up several times before the victim is found.
36

Aerial photography: Our system provides a unique view of the world not seen by rc planes, ground-launched helicopters, or ultra-lights. This could be a valuable system to market to hobbyists, aerial photographers, surveyors, etc. Our payload design can also be launched from balloons, airplanes, or from just about anywhere that you can fit a 7.5 by 18 inch tube. It is versatile and very reliable.

4.2) Science Value

4.2.1) Science Payload objectives:
Objective 1: Locate and observe ground target with live HD video stream. Ground target will be a bed-sheet with a pattern painted on it that will be stapled in the field. Objective 2: Gather data on flight performance for each mode of flight: parachute recovery and quadcopter control.

4.2.2) Mission Success Criteria:

Criterion 1: A successful mission for the payload begins with the main ejection charge firing at 1000 ft. The payload will deploy from the rocket and the quadcopter arms will lock out. The payloads parachute will inflate and not be tangled in the controls of the quadcopter. Criterion 2: Video downlink will not be broken from launch to landing. Criterion 3: Telemetry data downlink will not be broken from launch to landing. Criterion 4: The payload will drift over unpopulated field and at 500 ft. the parachute will be released. Quadcopter control will be stable. Criterion 5: The quadcopter and camera operators are able to guide the payload to the ground target and take aerial surveillance of it. Criterion 6: The payload lands gently on the ground target.

4.2.3) Experimental Logic, Scientific Approach and Method of Investigation:

The data from the accelerometer and gyroscope will be stored to be analyzed. The two portions of the payloads descent will be compared, parachute vs. quadcopter. The stability of two platforms will be determined both quantitatively by plotting acceleration and gyration, and qualitatively by gauging ease of camera operation.

4.2.4) Variables and Controls:

37

The control will be the values of the x- y- and z-acceleration, and z-gyration when the payload is under parachute. This will give a base value in order to judge improvement in the stability of the system by using quadcopter control. The measurements will provide a vivid picture of every motion the payload will feel, and the mean values of these variables will describe the average unsteadiness experienced by the payload. However, the true test of the steadiness of each recovery system will be determined by the pilot and camera operator, who will qualitatively describe the ease of operation.

4.2.5) Relevance of Expected Data:

Acceleration measurements will give information on the vibrations and general unsteadiness of the flight. Gyration measurements will give information on how fast the payload is spinning. Combined, this will give us a picture of the general stability of each platform.

4.2.6) Experiment Process Procedures:

1. Test fly the quadcopter before the rocket flight the day of the launch; check out systems. Transmit acceleration, gyration, barometric pressure and GPS coordinates to the ground tracking station and record it on the onboard micro-SD card. This is the control value for how stable the quadcopter flight theoretically should be. 2. Save the data to Quadcopter_Stability1.dat. Plot the acceleration and gyration in Matlab. 3. Launch the payload at 1000 ft. under parachute. Transmit acceleration, gyration, barometric pressure and GPS coordinates to the ground tracking station and record it on the onboard micro-SD card. This will be the standard for improvement. Extrapolation of the unsteadiness can give an approximation for lower altitudes. 4. Save the data to Parachute_Stability.dat. Plot the acceleration and gyration vs. altitude in Matlab. Extrapolate the data to 0-500 ft. 5. At 500 ft. release the parachute. While flying and searching for the ground target, transmit acceleration, gyration, barometric pressure and GPS coordinates to the ground tracking station and record it on the onboard micro-SD card. 6. Save the data to Quadcopter_Stability2.dat. Plot the acceleration and gyration in Matlab. 7. Compute statistical values for the acceleration and gyration for various altitudes for both quadcopter and parachute data. Calculate % difference.

38

8. Based on the GPS coordinates and altitude data, plot a 3D curve of the payload trajectory from launch to landing. Import to Google Earth. Create animation detailing the flight conditions of the payload in real time from launch to landing. See table ____ for payload preflight checklist.

4.3) Payload Design

4.3.1) Overview:
The payload design consists of a hemispherical transparent acrylic dome that the GoPro Hero2 cam is housed in. The camera will be on a pan and tilt system that will be controlled via 2.4GHz transmitter. The camera mounting/servos and other electronics will be mounted to the center bulkhead aft of the nose dome. An Arduino equipped with various sensors will be onboard and transmit data to the tracking station. The quadcopter control will consist of four deployable arms constructed of ductile cchannel aluminum. The arms will be on spring-loaded hinges so that they can fold up inside of the body of the rocket. Once deployed, the arms will lock into place using a mechanism designed by Thomas Moore. (See figure ___). The quadcopter will be controlled by a Spektrum DX8 transmitter/receiver, connected to a Gaui GU-344, a 3axis gyro stabilization system. The Gaui will interface with the four electronic speed controllers for the four motors.

39

Figure 4.1

Figure 4.2 40

4.3.2) Structural Elements:

The material for the load-bearing quadcopter arms was changed shortly after the CDR to C-channel aluminum. This change was made because the timescale was not adequate for stress-testing composite arms. The aerovibration analysis was also a concern. Most of the load will also be carried by the four pins in the lockout mechanisms. These pins are .25 steel rod, and will be sufficient for the small loads carried by the payload (<<100lbs).

4.3.3) Electrical Elements:

The electrical components can be divided into 3 subsystems: 1. Quadcopter control 2. Camera control/video transmission 3. Data collection/transmission Each of these sections is discussed in detail. 4.3.3.1) Quadcopter Control: See figure ___ for wiring schematic on the quadcopter control. The radio control system is a Spektrum DX8, which is an 8-channel, 2.4 GHz transmitter. The operator of the quadcopter will have access to the live video stream from onboard the payload.

41

Figure 4.3

4.3.3.2) Camera Control See figure ___ for wiring schematic on the camera control. The radio control system for the camera pan and tilt system will also be a Spektrum DX8 on 2.4 GHz. The radios are bound to their receivers, and do not interfere with one another. The operator of the camera and the operator of the quadcopter will work together, using the live video feed as a guide. The video transmission will be on Channel 57 (730 MHz).

42

4.3.3.3) Data Collection/Transmission See figures ___ and ___ for the Arduino pin maps for the onboard Arduino and ground station Arduino. The transmitter on the Arduino is a WRL-10534, which transmits on 434 MHz. See Appendix ____ for full Arduino code.

4.3.4) Assembly:
The payload is split into 3 subassemblies: Airframe: Consists of nose dome, coupler tube, and 3 3/16 threaded rods attached to a wood bulkhead. Electronics mount: A bulkhead that fits over the threaded rods. The electronics for data collection/transmission, camera control, video transmission, and quadcopter batteries are attached to this mount. Quadcopter arms: The aft bulkhead that the quadcopter arms are secured to; lockout mechanisms; motors/helicopter rotors. Assembly of the payload is simple on launch day. Step 1: Turn camera on, receive transmission. Power up Arduino, receive transmission. (Figure ___).

Figure ___: Fully assembled payload, shown without lockout mechanisms attached and 3 of the motors.

4.3.5) Precision of Instrumentation and Repeatability of Measurement:

The electronics were specifically chosen to have high precision to allow the most detailed information possible during the control of the vehicle. 4.3.5.1) Accelerometer: The ADXL335 is a complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of 3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration. 4.3.5.2) Gyroscope: The LPR530AL is a low-power dual axis (pitch and roll) gyro with a 300/s maximum range. Options include integrated low pass filters and an embedded power down and
50

self-test features. Both x and z outputs are analog, and a 4x amplified output signal is also available for both axes. 4.3.5.3) Barometric Pressure Sensor: The BMP085 offers a measuring range of 300 to 1100 hPa with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa. It's based on piezo-resistive technology for EMC robustness, high accuracy and linearity as well as long term stability. This sensor supports a voltage supply between 1.8 and 3.6VDC. 4.3.5.4) GPS Receiver: The GPS receiver is a 12 channel Copernicus unit. It runs on low power: 28.5 mA at 5V, while still maintaining a high sensitivity of -152 dBm. It has a very small size of 19 by 19 by 2.54 mm. The receiver can lock on to its position within 39 seconds of a cold start.

4.3.6) Flight Performance Predictions:

4.3.6.1) Steadiness Predictions: During the full scale test flight, the stability exhibited by the parachute was above expectations, despite the high winds. It was difficult to maintain the rotation during parachute descent. The quadcopter system has been proven in previous flight vehicles and is very steady. It is uncertain whether the reliability of the system will be affected by a violent ride aboard a launch vehicle and deployed from a black powder charge at 1000 ft. (See Test and Verification Program). 4.3.6.2) Estimated Timescales: Pad: < 2 hr. Payload is in launch detect mode. Ignition to apogee: 30s. Payload is in apogee detect mode. Apogee to 1000 ft.: 60s. Payload is waiting until 5 consistent measurements under 1000 ft. Parachute descent: 45s. Payload is transmitting data on barometric pressure, GPS coordinates, acceleration and gyration. Quadcopter descent: 5 min. At full throttle the batteries can support flight for 5 minutes.

4.3.7) Workmanship:
51

At the beginning of each work week at the general meetings, we discussed exactly what work needed to be done on the payload during the week and planned on a course of action. This helped avoid ambiguity of what objective needed accomplishment and kept all members on the same page as far as methodology was concerned. The safety officer was present at most build sessions, especially those which took place in the machine shop. Special care was taken to go slow and not cut corners in order to keep personnel safe during build sessions, and also to ensure quality construction of the payload.

4.3.8) Test and Verification Program:

The following test procedures have been or will be carried out before competition launch: 4.3.8.1) Quadcopter Flight Tests: Upon completion of the lockout mechanisms, the quadcopter will be 100% ready for test flight. The test flying will be done in 4 stages: 1. Tethered systems check: The quadcopter will be tethered at the eye-bolt in the aft bulkhead. The quadcopter will be powered up and hovered slightly to verify gyro stabilization. 2. The quadcopter will be put through rigorous flight-testing to verify maneuverability. Optional drop test (see 4.3.8.4). 3. Full systems flight-test with all the components in place. Operated with camera transmission. See 4.3.8.7. 4. Prelaunch flight test: Day of launch the quadcopter will be flown briefly to verify systems are still intact. 4.3.8.2) Quadcopter Arms Lockout Mechanism Test: The deployment of the arms will be tested manually a minimum of 30 times to ensure the lockout mechanisms will perform reliably. 4.3.8.3) Burn Board Testing: The nichrome wire parachute release mechanism will be tested using the quadcopter batteries. The response time will be measured. 4.3.8.4) Deployment Test from 500 ft.:

52

If time permits, the payload will be taken up on a HABET balloon to 500 ft. The drop test will then test the deployment under parachute, parachute release, quadcopter arms lockout and quadcopter control. 4.3.8.5) Ejection Charge Testing: Extensive ejection charge testing has already been conducted. The results were conclusive about how much powder was needed in the drogue bay, but further testing needs to be conducted on the main charge, with all of the payload components installed, including shear pins. 4.3.8.6) Telemetry Testing: The fully functioning Arduino electronics prototype will be tested for its data transmission. Various barriers to signal will be put in place to test signal strength, antenna configuration, etc. 4.3.8.7) Video Systems: With video transmitter installed, the video systems will be tested with camera control. 4.3.8.8) Full Systems Check: All of the components will be installed. The fully functioning camera system, arms lockout, data collection/telemetry and quadcopter control will all be tested together.

4.5) Safety and Environment (Payload):

4.5.1 Mission Assurance Analysis:

Failure Mode Parachute gets tangled with quadcopter arms, helicopter rotors. Likelihood Somewhat likely. Potential Consequences Quadcopter arms may not deploy properly and lock into place. Ground operators may not realize the situation. Parachute may not separate when command is given. Parachute may be fluttering at this point, and the payload will be descending without parachute or quadcopter control. Prognosis: Payload will land hard and possibly break something. Mitigations A 1 diameter x 18 PVC tube will be placed around the shock cord just below the payload, keeping distance between the payload and parachute. The safety officer and team mentor will oversee the packing of the payload recovery. A sufficient charge of black powder will be used behind the main parachute. An even larger backup

Payload does not deploy from rocket.

Not very likely.

The payload must deploy before the main parachute. If the payload does not deploy, the rocket and payload will land under the 4 parachute at upwards of 65 ft/s. Prognosis: The
54

rocket and payload will land hard and possibly break or injure something/someone.

Quadcopter arms do not lock.

Somewhat likely.

If the arms do not lock into place the ground operators may not even realize it. If the command to release the parachute is given and the arms are not locked down, then powering up the quadcopter motors will cause the payload to go unstable, possibly ripping itself apart.

Parachute does not separate when commanded.

Not very likely.

If the parachute does not release, the experiment loses its science value and the payload may drift too far.

charge will fire moments later. Extensive static deployment testing has been conducted, and further testing will take place with shear pins. Extensive testing. If the quadcopter arms can be deployed at lock into place reliably at least 30 times in a row, it will be considered a reliable system. Given enough time, a deployment test from a HABET at 500 ft. will be conducted. The parachute release mechanism developed by Iowa State Universitys HABET team

55

Parachute separates before command.

Somewhat likely.

Quadcopter may not be ready for flight and lose stability or control.

Telemetry downlink connection lost.

Somewhat likely.

If data link from the payload to the ground tracking station is broken, the payload operators will not have knowledge of the payloads altitude and position. The only information will come from the video

has been extensively tested and has worked reliably under varying conditions. The gear channel on the Spektrum DX8 could get inadvertently switched on, triggering the burn board. A protective casing will be attached on top of the switch. In the Arduino code, a voltage threshold must be met so that the receiver doesnt pick up phantom signals. Use a large enough antenna to provide a safety margin for payload operational range.

Video downlink connection lost.

Somewhat likely.

downlink. They will not know when the 500 ft. mark has been reached. The data will also be lost, lessening the scientific value of the experiment. Control would become exceedingly difficult. Ground target surveillance would be lost. Science value of experiment would be lessened.

Recruit one team member to hold the bunny ears antenna for optimal signal.

4.5.2) Personnel Hazards:

Hazard The quadcopter propeller blades do not have any protection around them. Propeller blades are very hazardous to fingers (true story). Burn from nichrome wire. Main parachute black powder charges. Mitigation Do not power up quadcopter until ready to be inserted into rocket for flight. Team member handling packing of the payload will be wearing leather gloves. Connect to power source only when ready for flight. Keep e-matches away from payload transmitters and take care not to put pressure on black powder charge when fitting the payload into the bay. All electronics will be secured, nuts will be tightened securely with a wrench before flight. Safety officer and team mentor will inspect payload before insertion into rocket. Personnel handling batteries will be trained for proper use. Charging will be done before the launch day on low power to ensure safety.

Falling objects from the payload.

Exploding batteries.

57

4.5.3) Environmental Concerns:

The process of releasing the payload parachute for quadcopter control comes with some risk of losing the parachute. One team member will be given a pair of binoculars and told to track the payload parachute. Out of respect for our launch site hosts, great care will be taken to keep from littering their fields with rip-stop nylon, which doesnt compose well and could be detrimental to crops/livestock, etc. The quadcopter and launch vehicle each have tracking devices, and provided they do not malfunction, will be easily recoverable. We have no other environmental concerns for the payload.

Figure 6.1: Semester 1 Gantt chart.

Figure 6.2: Semester 2 Gantt chart. Up through FRR we have competed everything through Construction of Payload Prototype, Full-Scale Launch, and Compose FRR. We have begun payload testing, and will continue until the competition in April.

6.3) Educational Engagement

Through February of 2012, we have educationally engaged 293 students through a variety of activities. For example, we presented 24 Boy Scouts with information about high powered rocketry and showed them examples of previously constructed rockets. Additionally, we challenged a group of middle school aged students to design a bungee jump that allowed an egg to fall precisely two inches above the ground. After the activity, we discussed how
60

engineering was involved in the process and discussed STEM majors. Working with a group of elementary students, we tested their problem solving skills by playing a series of math logic games. Afterwards, we lead a discussion about the opportunities for students in STEM majors. In addition to leading engineering related experiments, we lead a group of middle school students through a banana DNA extraction experiment while discussing the conditions that make life possible. We then connected this discussion to how high powered rocketry is allowing humans to search for signs of life on other planets. Afterwards, we invited the students to ask us questions about majoring in aerospace and other engineering disciplines. Additionally, we reached out to potential incoming college freshman by proctoring and grading exams for a math competition. During the competition, we had the opportunity to discuss our club and engineering at our university. Future activities will include a Science Night at an elementary school, where we will involve approximately 100 students, grade 1-5, with balloon rocket activities, space crafts, and encourage them to explore space-related studies.

Section 7 Conclusion
We are team CySLI, a group of undergraduate students at Iowa State University competing in the NASA University Student Launch Initiative competition. Our launch vehicle is an 8.5 ft. tall, 7.5 in. diameter rocket whose projected altitude has been determined to be capable of flying very close to a mile in altitude. The launch vehicle is stable and reliable in up to 20 mph wind, and the dual deployment system has been proven reliable, demonstrated by a full-scale test launch. Our payload design consists of a powered controlled descent vehicle whose primary mission objective is to take quality video surveillance of a ground target, and to compare the efficacy of the quadcopter descent scheme with parachute descent for a surveillance vehicle. The payload has been built and flown under parachute recovery in the rocket during full-scale test launch. The payload is currently being tested rigorously to ensure safety and secure mission outcome. No major flaws have yet been uncovered in the design, and we believe that the mission will be ready for success by April 21.

Addendum A: NAR Regulations

High Power Rocket Safety Code 1. Certification. I will only fly high power rockets or possess high power rocket motors that are within the scope of my user certification and required licensing. 2. Materials. I will use only lightweight materials such as paper, wood, rubber, plastic, fiberglass, or when necessary ductile metal, for the construction of my rocket. 3. Motors. I will use only certified, commercially made rocket motors, and will not tamper with these motors or use them for any purposes except those recommended by the manufacturer. I will not allow smoking, open flames, nor heat sources within 25 feet of these motors. 4. Ignition System. I will launch my rockets with an electrical launch system, and with electrical motor igniters that are installed in the motor only after my rocket is at the launch pad or in a designated prepping area. My launch system will have a safety interlock that is in series with the launch switch that is not installed until my rocket is ready for launch, and will use a launch switch that returns to the "off" position when released. If my rocket has onboard ignition systems for motors or recovery devices, these will have safety interlocks that interrupt the current path until the rocket is at the launch pad. 5. Misfires. If my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery, and will wait 60 seconds after the last launch attempt before allowing anyone to approach the rocket. 6. Launch Safety. I will use a 5-second countdown before launch. I will ensure that no person is closer to the launch pad than allowed by the accompanying Minimum Distance Table, and that a means is available to warn participants and spectators in the event of a problem. I will check the stability of my rocket before flight and will not fly it if it cannot be determined to be stable. 7. Launcher. I will launch my rocket from a stable device that provides rigid guidance until the rocket has attained a speed that ensures a stable flight, and that is pointed to within 20 degrees of vertical. If the wind speed exceeds 5 miles per hour I will use a launcher length that permits the rocket to attain a safe velocity before separation from the launcher. I will use a blast deflector to prevent
63

the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground. I will ensure that dry grass is cleared around each launch pad in accordance with the accompanying Minimum Distance table, and will increase this distance by a factor of 1.5 if the rocket motor being launched uses titanium sponge in the propellant. 8. Size. My rocket will not contain any combination of motors that total more than 40,960 N-sec (9208 pound-seconds) of total impulse. My rocket will not weigh more at liftoff than one-third of the certified average thrust of the high power rocket motor(s) intended to be ignited at launch. 9. Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, near airplanes, nor on trajectories that take it directly over the heads of spectators or beyond the boundaries of the launch site, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket. I will not launch my rockets if wind speeds exceed 20 miles per hour. I will comply with Federal Aviation Administration airspace regulations when flying, and will ensure that my rocket will not exceed any applicable altitude limit in effect at that launch site. 10. Launch Site. I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area where trees, power lines, buildings, and persons not involved in the launch do not present a hazard, and that is at least as large on its smallest dimension as one-half of the maximum altitude to which rockets are allowed to be flown at that site or 1500 feet, whichever is greater. 11. Launcher Location. My launcher will be 1500 feet from any inhabited building or from any public highway on which traffic flow exceeds 10 vehicles per hour, not including traffic flow related to the launch. It will also be no closer than the appropriate Minimum Personnel Distance from the accompanying table from any boundary of the launch site. 12. Recovery System. I will use a recovery system such as a parachute in my rocket so that all parts of my rocket return safely and undamaged and can be flown again, and I will use only flame-resistant or fireproof recovery system wadding in my rocket. 13. Recovery Safety. I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines, tall trees, or other dangerous places, fly it under conditions where it is likely to recover in spectator areas or outside the launch site, nor attempt to catch it as it approaches the ground.
