Requirements

  1. Connect the motor to the mission package tube
  2. Hold the forward closure in place
  3. Withstand forces with a FoS of at least 2
    1. (forces on bottom face? forces on lip? depends on design choices, mass above frr, and bolt selection/pattern) 
    2. From ppt:
      1. Withstand F_up upward force (on bottom face)
      2. Withstand F_down downward force (on lip)

Anticipated Maximum Forces

  1. Upward Forces
    1. Derived from anticipated maximum internal pressure and surface area of the FC 
  2. Downward Forces
    1. Derived from summing g-force and drag maximums
  3. Min FoS Upward: 
  4. Min FoS Downward: 
  5. FEA (Max Displacement):


Design Meeting 10/13

  1. Using the Prometheus Forward Retention Ring as a reference to design the Aurora Forward Retention Ring
  2. Adjusting the design to fit the new 5 inch diameter motor
  3. Brainstorming methods to create this diameter transition geometry and how to fit the fiberglass rocket case around the motor
