Space
Hardware Design ASEN 4519-??? / ASEN
5519-???
A senior / graduate design elective presenting the 'lessons learned' from BioServe's spaceflight experimentation.
"Life Sciences Hardware Design for
Spaceflight"
The class is offered for undergraduate (senior) and graduate students with 3 credit hours. The class could serve as an alternative to Senior Design lab or any other design elective.
Course Outline
The students will follow an experiment design from the science objective
to the actual flight aboard the NSTS Space Shuttle. The class will focus on
defining science and engineering requirements, finding engineering solutions as
well as fulfilling the required qualification documentation and procedures to
fly and operate the experiment. The final design (payload / experiment) has to
be designed and qualified for flight in the Space Shuttle middeck or equivalent
(combined MIR - Shuttle missions). During the class, spaceflight hardware will
be presented and analyzed that was designed by students and staff of BioServe
Space Technologies, a
The design maturity will be evaluated using standard NASA flight safety reviews. Depending on class progress, prototype development and testing is envisioned. Past, current and future BioServe Space flight hardware designs will be used as examples for successful hardware realization. Participation in actual flight hardware design and documentation is envisioned. Presentations and reporting will be required to document and evaluate the design progress.
Grades:
Grades will be based on oral presentations and the quality of the appropriate NASA documents required to ‘fly’ the payload (science requirements document, Interface Control Document, Phase 0/I and Phase II safety Packages, Crew Procedures, Safety Verification Documentation and Tracking).
