Predicted Performance
For the final launch vehicle:
Drift during test flight was 772 ft with 8 mph winds; this is with the expected range for this speed. Drift calculations have been altered from CDR to reflect changes to stability margin.

10 5042 1250
15 5009 1900

Test Plans
The only remaining testing to be done on the launch vehicle are tests involving the UAV, including a second full scale test flight.
• Final charge testing of piston, UAV, and drogue• Second full scale test flight
All other tests have been completed.
![Page 16: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Recovery System Testing
Charge testing and one full scale flight test have been successfully completed. All charges successfully deployed at proper times during flight, and there was no unexpected separation.
Future charge testing will occur after the new design components are completed and the UAV is prepared for charge testing, to ensure continued successful deployment. Only one charge test remains to be done.

Full Scale Flight Test Stability During first flight test:

Simulated Full Scale Flight Test
The rocket was flown with a four foot upper airframe and the original nosecone, weighing 54 lbs.
![Page 19: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Full Scale Flight Test Results
The final apogee is observed as 5007 ft, which a 315 ft (~6%) overshoot. Overshoot correlates to that found from subscale flight test.

Summary of Verifications
Full summary in section 3.4
All requirements for the launch vehicle are currently met, and no changes are expected to occur.
![Page 21: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Payload DesignChanges since CDR:• No longer mounting a camera onboard the UAV; will instead attempt to add
Raspberry Pi 5 megapixel sensor• Controls and other systems are retained
![Page 22: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Payload Integration
The payload needs to be carefully loaded into the rocket to ensure successful deployment; full instructions for loading payload into rocket found in section 5.1 of FRR.
Rocket is contained completely separately from all other avionics, and thus cannot interfere in any way with parachute deployment or other launch vehicle functions.
![Page 23: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TestingUAV will undergo a battery of tests to ensure flight readiness, including:• Static test article for controls testing• Ground, charge, flight, deployment, and full scale flights testing
![Page 24: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Interfaces
Physical interface on the vehicle are quick links and eye bolts connecting different sections through shock cord, and the Defy Gravity tether, holding the UAV to the shock cord before deployment.
Communication with the ground happens through two channels:• An X-Bee transceiver on the UAV allows communication with the ground
station• A Telemetrum Altimeter allows tracking of the vehicle during flight
![Page 25: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tether
The Defy Gravity tether will be used to secure the UAV to the launch vehicle, via the recovery harness, until the RSO gives permission to release.
The vehicle will be released and will descend under parachute until stable,
then unfold and flyautonomously.
![Page 26: Illinois Space Society Tech Team USLI FRR Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649dba5503460f94aab04f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Status of Requirements
A full summary of the status of requirements is given in section 4.4 of the FRR for the payload.
- UAV performs well mechanically- Structurally capable of withstanding large forces
- Unfolds successfully during separation from rocket- X-Bee modules communicate effectively with the quadrotor
- Ground station command confirmation from the UAV- Range tests of up to 2 miles
- Flight tests guarantee the stability of the system- Reliable data being read from the on-board sensors
- Successful deployment of both parachutes (main and emergency)
