P07110: METEOR Vertical Test
Stand
FtoB, LtoR: M. Saitta, E. Willistein, K. Saboda, B.
Frost, D. Uerz, A. Prill
The main scope of this project encompasses building a
test stand system that holds the METEOR rocket in a
vertical orientation for ground testing. Physical
configuration and structural design of the test stand is
one of the subprojects within the wider project. The
other important subproject is design and construction of
a data acquisition system to read and record data from
the test stand in real time.

Team Project Readiness Package
The
Project Readiness Package
Page (PRP) documents customer needs and expectations,
project deliverables (including time frame), budget, and
personnel / organizations affiliated with this project. As
a basic framework for the project, the PRP serves as a
guide for the team during the initial project planning
stage. The PRP is also useful during faculty evaluation of
the project because it contains the major requirements that
must be fulfilled.
METEOR is the first, university-based, project in the
world whose ultimate goal is to launch and place small
payloads on near earth asteroids and lunar surfaces. METEOR
is a hands-on, multi-phase, multi-disciplinary, teaching,
and research program for investigating and developing
micro-systems engineering, science, and technologies for
the exploration and utilization of outer space. The central
focus of the project is the launching of a series of small
payloads into low earth orbit, the low earth orbit
re-launch and control of these payloads toward the moon or
near earth asteroids, the landing of these payloads on the
surfaces and the data acquisition and remote control of
these payloads during the scientific research phase of each
mission. This project will provide the students and faculty
at RIT, and the scientific community at large, the
opportunity to obtain small payload volumes for conducting
micro-systems and other scientific experiments in outer
space. Meteor will accommodate and promote these
multi-disciplinary collaborations.
