Machines Needed:
Lathe, Mill, Radial Indexer, Taps, Waterjet
Order of Operations:
0.) Procure Aluminum 6061 Stock. Please try to have the thickness be as close as possible. Create a machining drawing to help hasten the process.
...
7.) Place in a radial indexer either by screwing it onto the prison or finding some other method of extrusion where necessary. Mark out the holes expected positions on the physical part to aid the process, and guide holes may be helpful sanity checks.
Critical Points:
1.) Ensure correct placement of the radial/circumference-wise holes where the part interfaces with the mission package tube. The AV Panel holes may be amended where necessary, as those will be drilled by hand, but the MPT holes are essential.
...
3.) If you use overly thick stock, facing may be necessary. Ideally, to 0.38 inches, or the minimum length needed for full thread engagement with the piston.
4.) The iteration of this CAD used for the Phoenix JAN-23 launch is available in the Structures SubTeam Slack.
