Structure

Use the arrows to view other systems

The structure systems group develops, designs, and produce all the aerodynamic components and mechanical architecture that connects all systems. This includes the fins, nosecone, boat tail, fuselage, motor mount, cubesat mount, avionics mount, coupling interface and more.

The group is split into two subteams: inner and outer. The outer team designs and develops the aerodynamic surfaces and flight dynamics, while the inner team designs and develops the mechanical structure that transfers all the forces that the rocket experiences. Please note which subteam you want to be on in your application.

Responsibilities:

Simulate and improve rocket trajectory and flight dynamics
Use CAD software to design parts and systems
Use advanced FEM analysis to inform design decisions
Use CFD to inform design decisions
Develop and build rapid prototypes to prove design concepts
Develop composite production techniques
Develop suitable mechanical interfaces and mounting points for the other systems
Production and validation of parts
Test and document designs and solutions

Although we encourage people with some prior experience to apply, it is important to note that no prior experience is needed to apply.
