2 Outline Missin f TJHSST Team Objectives Prject Gals Meeting NASA Gals Prpsed Outreach Activities CubeSat Kits Systems Engineering Orbital Dynamics Cmmunicatins CAD/Structural CubeSat Testing Missin Strengths Accmplishments Cnclusin 2

3 Gals f the Review CubeSat prpsals must shw scientific, technlgical, r educatinal merit Shw hw we meet NASA s Educatinal Gals Why we need this launch t fulfill the NASA gals 3

4 Missin f TJHSST The missin f Thmas Jeffersn High Schl fr Science and Technlgy (TJHSST) is t prvide students with a challenging learning envirnment fcused n math, science, and technlgy, t inspire jy at the prspect f discvery, and t fster a culture f innvatin based n ethical behavir and the shared interests f humanity. 4

5 Team Objectives Integrate teams wrking n distinct prblems Apply fr and be selected as a NASA CSLI candidate Engage in STEM utreach t the public and lcal students Prepare t design and cnstruct a 3U CubeSat 5

6 Prject Gals Train students in the basic parts f a 1U cubesat Develp and dcument the prcesses needed Develp pssible paylads Bilgical experiment with Micr Aerspace s Micrlab Test efficacy f different nbard radis and feasibility f grund cmmunicatin methds 6

11 Prject Timeline Missin Cncept Review: Prir t NASA Submissin Systems Requirements Review: Prir t NASA Submissin Preliminary Design Review: Nv. - Dec. Critical Design Review: Dec. - May Test Readiness Review: Jun - Sept. Pre-Ship Review: Oct. - Dec. 11

12 Prject Educatinal Gals Advance STEM career pipeline Expse STEM Students t Aerspace & Orbit Principles Implement student develped STEM educatinal materials Educate the TJ and lcal cmmunity Inspire ther K-12 educatinal institutins 12

13 Meeting NASA Gals Advancing the natin s STEM wrkfrce pipeline Inspiratin Expse students t new challenges Engage in utreach with lcal schls Create grund statins with partner schls Fstering Skillsets Develp student skills in specific subsystems Encurage crss-cllabratin f different subsystems Teach systems integratin thrughut the prject 13

14 Meeting NASA Gals STEM Wrkplace Skills CubeSat prject is student driven Previus student led missins Engineering expertise nt fund in classrm envirnment Crdinatin f separate grups Independent student research Critical decisins fr this unique prject` 14

15 Meeting NASA Gals Outreach Methds High Schl Set up grund statins at US and internatinal schls Pst educatinal materials n the TJ Cubesat Website K-12 stepped apprach Technlgy demnstratin f assembling a CubeSat Math and science activities using the CubeSat as a mdel Utilize existing utreach methds (STEMbassadrs, WISE, etc) 15

16 Meeting NASA Gals Raising awareness Share the stry with news and media utlets Sustain an active scial media presence 16

17 Meeting NASA Gals Advancing wmen in STEM 50% f ur engineering team leads are female Less than 25% f STEM management psitins in industry are filled by wmen (Beede et al., 2011) Activities utside schl classes Inspiring wmen in STEM Advancing minrities in STEM Minrities make up a small fractin f STEM wrkfrce After schl prgrams have a strng minrity representatin (Mstache, Matlff-Nieves, Kekelis, & Lawner, 2007) 17

18 Prpsed Outreach Prjects Spread STEM and CubeSat activities t ther schls and age grups Raise interest with CubeSat Kits Develp hw t guides Electrical Systems Orbital Dynamics and Physics Cmmunicatin CAD/Structural Flight Readiness Testing 18

19 Build CubeSat Kits Teach the basics f assembling a educatinal CubeSat mdel Clear instructins, easy t understand Bsts cnfidence thrugh successful STEM based activities Sldering skills Basic electrnics thery Basic prgramming and sensr knwledge Tl usage Kits include: chassis, slar panels, Raspberry Pi, sensr bard, battery, camera, switch 19

20 Electrical Systems Slar Cells & Lithium In Batteries Can be used t demnstrate prperties f: Batteries, resistrs, and lads. Energy Flw Diagrams Sldering techniques Circuit design Physical Prperties: Ohm s Law Kirchhff's Lp Rule 20

21 Orbital Dynamics & Physics Hw t calculate: Orbit speed and travel distance relative t Earth Orbit perid Derbit rate Changes in rbit based n cntrl cmpnents Cmmunicatin windw Designing a rbital transfer 21

22 Cmmunicatins Cmpnents CubeSat: sensrs, cmputer, transmitter (radi), antenna, Grund statin: antenna, receiver(radi), cmputers Steps in cmmunicating Data cllectin Transmitting Receiving Prcessing Radi licensing Radi demnstratin 22

23 CAD/Structural Different CAD Sftwares AutDesk Fusin OnShape Basic CAD Mdeling Assembly Uses f CAD 3D printing CNC Mill 3D simulatin testing f frame AutDesk heat stress analysis AutDesk structural simulatins 23

24 Flight Readiness Testing Cnfirmatin f flight and space-readiness TRL level 6 Simulate cnditins f launch and space Testing types: Radi Frequency Interference Vacuum/Thermal Physical stresses 24

25 Strengths f Prpsed Missin Easily measurable participant utcmes Degree chices that supprt natinal educatin and wrkfrce needs Educatinal gals grunded in gd practice r research Successful histry f student managed cmplex prjects Much f the selected hardware has flight heritage NSL Fast Bus 1U kit (TRL 7-9) Rbust mentr netwrk Cllege students, cmpanies, and engineers 25
