Engineering Lifecycle (Principles)
What is the first step in the engineering lifecycle?
Concept Development or Identify the Problem
Dex and Joshua have started an aerospace app to help launch snakes into space. They have drawn out the concepts and figured out what software programs they need to develop it. What steps should they do next?
Build! Design a prototype.
What do fins do on a rocket?
Stability
What happens if you go into space without a proper space suit?
Radiation, Asphyxiation, Swelling
What date is the JETS banquet?
Saturday May 5, 2024
What is a prototype?
A preliminary model of a product.
Emiliano is working at SpaceX and has helped the team to develop a new kind of rocket. They have finished integrating the rocket parts together and are preparing to test. Is testing the right thing for them to do next?
Yes!
How large is the width of a rocket?
About two donkeys' butts = about 30 ft
What does NASA stand for?
Smh you slackers
Are we launching a rocket or a plane for the final project?
Rocket
Why is testing important in the engineering lifecycle?
Verifies that the design works and meets standards.
Noor and Amy are building a rocket at ULA that will launch 10,000 gummy bears into orbit for the aliens to eat. The rocket malfunctioned during a test and broke several fuses. What should they do next?
Analysis! Figure out what went wrong and how to design so that this doesn't happen again.
The four dynamic forces
Lift, weight, drag, thrust
At what stage(s) of flight are placed crashes more likely to occur?
Takeoff and Landing
Is the aerospace class required to present their project at the banquet?
Yep
What does I&T stand for?
Integration and Test
At what's stage in the lifecycle, will we be doing our demo?
Product Release
What is an object that pays to get carried by the rockets?
Payload
Is space completely silent?
Shh... sound doesn't travel here!
Every student is required to present for one of the weeks leading up to the project demonstration. True or False.
True :)
What are the steps in the systems engineering lifecycle?
Concept of Operations
Requirements
Design
Integration & Test
Verification and Validation
Joe has started to build the worlds largest elevator to the moon. When asked by his supervisor if he did any research before starting... Joe said no. He would build and figure out as he goes? What could go wrong?
Roshaun and Noor to pick best answer.
What happens to propellant in a rocket?
Burns, increases pressure and thrust.
Space junk is dangerous because...
Travel faster than bullet
Damage Spacecraft and satellites
Damages spacesuit = death
What are our names?
Noor-wegian and Master Roshi
