Purpose
FireBolts, a term coined by the Team, are 1/4-20 bolts with E-matches glued in. They are used in Tender Descender modifications and also to ignite pyrotechnically operated pistons on the Team.
There are two types of FireBolts. Standard FireBolts (simply called FireBolts) have one e-match glued in. They are used when there are redundant separation devices (e.g. Tender Descenders). FireBolt Jumbos have two e-matches glued in. They are used when there is only one separation device with only one propellant charge (e.g. HADES piston or AARDs).
As of 11/7/18 there is an unresolved issue with the e-match shorting on the steel screw. One proposed solution is to use nylon screws instead.
Version I
Version I FireBolts were used in the 2017/2018 school year. They flew on Hermes I. They consisted of an untaped 1/4-20 by 1/2" bolt with one e-match. There was a variant called FireBolt Jumbos with two e-matches per bolt.
No manufacturing procedure was recorded.
Version II
Version II FireBolts were used in the Fall semester of 2018. They... Unknown User (premc@mit.edu)
