Summary:
The technical requirements that UAA Rocketry must meet to perform in the Mini-MAV competition are summarized here. The full competition details are found in the 2015 NASA SL Handbook.
- Design/build an Autonomous Ground Support System (AGSE) that will:
- Capture a payload consisting of a small section of PVC pipe filled with sand
- Ingress said payload into the launch vehicle
- Contain the payload in the launch vehicle during flight
- Perform all routines and subroutines autonomously
- Design/build a launch vehicle which meets the following performance criteria:
- Reaches an altitude of 3000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL)
- Ejects the payload at 1000 feet AGL to descend under a separate parachute
- Does not exceed a kinetic energy of 75 foot pounds while descending
- Performs safely and reliably in accordance with applicable high power rocketry guidelines set forth by the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), NASA, and other governing bodies
