Responsible Engineers:

Tentative Schedule:

• Week 1: Materials & Manufacturing Research and Post-launch Analysis
• Week 2: Materials & Manufacturing Research and Post-launch Analysis pt. 2 electric boogalo
• Week 3: Research Review & Intro to Heat Transfer
• Week 4: Intro to Aerodynamics
• Week 5 & on: TBD

Deliverables:

• Week 1: Review launch footage, notes, etc. and compile all aeroshell-related launch problems. Research into different materials (resin, PLA, aluminum??) and manufacturing processes (additive manufacturing, machining??) to be used for aeroshells. Try to find information on each material including thermal conductivity, emissivity (for radiation), cost, and any other properties deemed important by you. Prepare your research in a way that will be easy to "present" to the team on Week 3ish. This could be a spreadsheet, Slides presentation, paragraph with the information. etc. This is due in two weeks (by Week 3).
• Week 2: Work on above deliverables.
• Week 3 & on: TBD
