Build a Satellite
Engineering Design Process
Problem/Challenge
Design and build a satellite
Requirements & Constraints
cameras
gravity probes
heat sensors
1 Meter drop test with nothing falling off
Mass < 60 kilos
Must fit within given size
Two instruments must deploy
Brainstorm and Evaluate Solutions
Fold out like origami
pack everything in duct tape
Use zip ties to hold instruments to satellite
bubble wrap for protection on outside of tube
Can instruments be tucked inside other instruments to save space?
Inflatable pouches to make the satellite bounce when dropped (like the Mars Rover)
Prototype Ideas
Prototype Evaluation
The prototype with the duct tape and bubble wrap worked the best in the drop test. Nothing fell off.
Results
fit size constraint
Withstood drop test
Instruments deployed
