1 LIVE INTERACTIVE YOUR DESKTOP Engineering Design Challenge: Spacecraft Structures Presented by: Kristy Hill October 17, 2011

2 NASA Engineering Design Challenges Spacecraft Structures

3 Syllabus Activity Overview NASA Connection Teacher Preparation The Design Challenge Modifications and Extensions

4 Overview of Spacecraft Structures

5 Inside the guide

6 National Standards y Physical Science Motions and forces Transfer of Energy y Science and technology Abilities of technological design y Science as inquiry Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry

7 Value to the Teacher Easy to navigate Supports content standards Background, resources, and masters

8 Value to Students Based on a real-world problem Use creativity, cleverness, & scientific knowledge Develop presentation & communication skills

9 Let s Pause for Questions Please type your questions in the chat!

10 NASA Connection

11 Why is it important to make the launch vehicle as lightweight as possible? [Type responses in the chat]

12 Background NASA uses lightweight, strong materials for launch vehicles Focus on thrust structures NASA s history of testing rockets

13 Saturn V Space Shuttle Ares I Ares V

14 Saturn V First Stage

15 Saturn V Second Stage

16 Saturn V Third Stage

17 The whole system is called the Space Shuttle. External Tank (ET) 2 Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) Orbiter STS-133 (Space Transportation System)

18 Space Shuttle Flight

19

20 Which was used for Apollo? Which does the Space Shuttle use?

21 Space Launch System NASA is moving forward with the development of the SLS, an advanced heavy-lift vehicle that will provide a new national capability for human exploration beyond Earth s orbit.

22 Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle

23 Orion Testing Pad Abort Motor Test Parachute Test Splash Test Orion Heat Shield prototype

24 Human Factors This full scale model of a portion of a rocket design that was built at Marshall Space Flight Center to see how the pieces would fit together. When this rocket needs servicing, will a human be able to get to the appropriate place safely and without damaging the parts of the rocket? This is the one of the stages of the rocket.

25 The Lesson in Detail

26 Thrust Structures

27 Thrust Structures

28 Thrust Structures

29 What are some ways NASA engineers could make a launch vehicle as lightweight as possible? [Type responses in the chat]

30 The Challenge: Build the lightest weight thrust structure that will withstand the force of launch to orbit at least three times.

31 The Design Challenge

32 Engineering Design Process

33 Design and Results Sheets

34 Design Constraints Use only the specified materials Must be taller than 5 centimeters Must allow space in the center for fuel lines and valves (represented by 35mm-film canister without lid)

35 Definition: Launch to orbit = propelling a 1-liter bottle of water approximately 1-meter into the air

36 Definition: Launch to orbit = propelling a 1-liter bottle of water approximately 1-meter into the air

37 Classroom Sessions Session 1: Introducing the Challenge and Getting Started Session 2: Design 1 Sessions 3 and 4: Designs 2, 3, 4, 5 Session 5: Storyboard/Poster Session 6: Student Presentations

38 Comparing rockets

39

40 Comparing rockets

41 If it costs $10,000 to lift a pound (half a kilogram) of payload into orbit, calculate the cost of sending yourself into space. (Sharing is optional)

42 Let s Pause for Questions Please type your questions in the chat!

43 Teacher Preparation

44 Time and Materials 4-8 hours of prep time Six 45 minute class periods Build the launcher and rocket Materials for classroom activity

45 Teacher Kit Kit available from NASA CORE at

46 Let s Pause for Questions Please type your questions in the chat!

47 Modifications and Extensions

48 Customizations Allow modifications of cardboard Allow repairs Increase the rocket mass Design with alternative materials Limit designs by cost (budget)

49 Keep inspiring your students. NASA always needs workers interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
