Title: Team Name Flight Readiness Review (this is a bare-bones template
1Team NameFlight Readiness Review(this is a
bare-bones template make it fancier if you
wish,but be sure to address at least the items
listed here)(remember this is a 12 to 15-minute
oral presentation dont go long,but do use the
time effectively practice your timing
aloud)(remember that your slides are due by noon
on Tuesday, Oct. 25 if the presentation exceeds
1 Meg consider bringing it to mein person rather
than sending it by e-mail indeed, it would be
bestfor someone to stop by in person to make
sure all the slidesdisplay properly on my
computer)
- Team Members
- Class and Date
2Mission Overview
- What are your (multiple) objectives? (you need
to use the required equipment, GPS data from the
tracking system, plus your specialized equipment
to accomplish your objectives) This slide will
probably have evolved since your last
presentation. - What do you expect to show/prove/disprove?
3Brief Management / Budget Update
- Show your management slide(s) again improve
on them since the CDR, especially if they were
not in the form of a graphical org chart look
up what org charts look like if you dont know - Show your schedule again it should encompass
the past, present, and future point out where
you are on the schedule and what things are
coming up in the near future no need to read
all the way through it, just do highlights - Show your budget slides (cast and mass) again
you should now be able to state your final (or
near-final) mass
4Design Overview (multiple slides have actual
box in hand, but also try to make these slides
stand alone, with text and photographs)
- Functional connections and physical layout of
the items in the payload - Photos of actual box construction
- Programming (not the actual code, just what it
does like record temperature, pressure, and
relative humidity once every xx minutes ) for
BSE computer, HOBO, and still camera (if you are
using one) - Discuss what data, if any, will be sent to the
ground during the flight using the zigbee radio
telemetry system
5Results of Testing (as evidence that your payload
is ready for flight)
- What tests have been run? What were the
results? What changes, if any, were made to the
payload based on the testing? What, if anything,
remains to be tested before you fly and when will
those tests be run? What other things could or
should be tested, if we had enough time and/or
the right equipment (and why would you test those
things and where does your confidence come from
having skipped those tests might be due to
successes of previous flights with similar
components)? What concerns do you have, if any,
about your payloads flight readiness?
6Expected Science Results(this is requested for
Revision B of your team documentation, so take a
stab at it here)
- Restate each experiment you will do and talk
about the results you expect. Be as specific as
you can, but it is OK if you dont have actual
references for all the expected results yet,
though you will want those for Rev B of your team
documentation. Hint In his articles Paul
Verhage shows plots of pressure, temperature,
radiation levels, etc. at various levels in the
atmosphere from his own flights maybe look
there for starters.
