AIAA NASA University Student Launch Initiative 2019-20
The NASA University Student Launch Initiative (USLI) is a multidisciplinary project challenging students to research, design, and build a high-powered rocket to complete a set of objectives. For the 2019-20 competition, the objectives include the altitude challenge and the lunar ice collection challenge. For the altitude challenge, the rocket's target apogee is called early in the competition season. The lunar ice collection challenge will involve deployment of a rover or UAV when the rocket's landing, which then travels to designated locations to collect samples of simulated lunar ice. As the ECE capstone team, we worked with three subsystems: avionics for flight data collection, blade extending apogee variance system (BEAVS) to address the altitude challenge, rover payload to address the ice collection challenge.
