Sub-assemblies

  1. Motor

    • 5/16", 1/4" hex key

    • Epoxy
    • High temperature grease
    • Gorilla glue/polyurethane (PU) glue
    • Room temperature vulcanizer (RTV)
    • Adjustable spanner
    • Rubber Mallet
    • Boattail Allen Key**
    1. Assemble the nozzle. Add o-rings and lubricate well.
    2. Follow the 'MIT Rocket Team Grain Cutting and Bonding Procedure' to bond the grains to the liner, using the nozzle assembly as a placement guide. Apply aeropoxy to the splice, if any.
    3. Bolt the nozzle assembly to the case, taking account of directionality.
    4. Slide the motor load into the case.
    5. Use RTV to attach the insulation disk to the forward closure. 
    6. Attach the pressure transducer to the forward closure.
    7. Add o-rings to the forward closure and lubricate generously. Slide the closure into the open end of the case.
    8. Bolt the forward retention ring to the case.

  2. Piston

Nosecone Tip Procedure

Procedures

    1. put bolt through washers
    2. put thermocouples through washers
    3. twist both sides of wires (wrap around bolts and thermocouples around themselves
    4. stick into NC to the end, pull themocouples through small end. Shift around to place washers flat inside
    5. put nosecone tip in
    6. stick a long arm in and twist the bolt into hole

Integration Order

Ideally, the piston, AV tower, and payload stack can be assembled in parallel and then each attached to the payload bulkhead. In parallel to this assemblage, the nosecone and mystery box can be integrated. Then the two groups would be integrated together with the soft goods and the fin can.
