EuRoC ‘24 Propulsion Team Member

Team: Propulsion Team

Work description

The goal of the propulsion team is to develop a hybrid engine to power the rocket for a potential participation in EuRoC ‘24. The development of this hybrid engine is divided into two main parts: combustion chamber and oxidizer tank. This role will be performing across-the-board tasks supporting all subsystems, instead of focusing on a specific one. This equips the member with a good overview of the whole engine, and makes them invaluable for the system integration. This role is also deeply involved in the manufacturing of the various engine components.

Responsibilities

  • Perform across-the-board tasks within the propulsion team
  • Have a good general overview of all the propulsion subsystems and their integration
  • Take an active part in the manufacturing of the various components.
  • Attend weekly meetings
  • Active on Discord and any other communication channels used by the project
  • Write documentation
  • Attend tests and launch

Competencies

Required
  • Interest in system integration
  • General interest in hybrid rocket propulsion systems
  • Interest in manufacturing
  • Willingness to put in the work: ~10 hours per week
Meriting
  • Previous experience with any of the hybrid rocket engine subsystems:
  • Combustion Chamber
  • Pressurisation and Pressure Relief
  • Oxidizer Fuel Injection

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EuRoC ‘24 Operations Responsible

Team: Operations Team

Work description

The operations team is responsible for any non-technical aspect of the EuRoC team, including but not limited to budget and accounting, PR activities, sponsors and other external communication, logistics before and during the competition.

The Operations Responsible takes care of organising and managing the logistics regarding tests in Sweden, including knowing the legal requirements for those tests and ensuring that the necessary materials and equipment are available. This mainly includes the static fire tests that are needed for the hybrid engine development.

This person works closely with the External Relations Responsible, meaning that external communication is not included in this role, but helping with external communication is still part of the role (this includes help with any kind of administrative work related to external communication).

Responsibilities

  • Attend weekly meetings
  • Active on Discord and any other communication channels used by the project
  • Knowing the law regarding tests within Sweden
  • Managing logistics and communications for tests (with External Relations Responsible)
  • Ensure the oxidizer for tests (with External Relations Responsible)

Competencies

Required
  • Organisational skills
  • Willingness to take responsibility
  • Willingness to put in the work: ~10 hours per week
  • Work well with other people

EuRoC ‘24 CAD Responsible

Team: General Role

Work description

The design and manufacturing of the rocket requires solid and well kept CAD. Only this allows the smooth and efficient performance of simulations, retrieval of dimensions and properties that are necessary for various calculations, and for guiding the manufacturing of various parts. The main responsibility of this role will be creating the CAD models for the subsystems designed by each of the groups and keeping an updated full CAD assembly. Note that this role does not entail involvement in the design of the subsystems, only porting that design into the CAD software. The file tree with the various parts and assemblies should also be kept organised and tidy, in order to make their access as efficient and clean as possible. The CAD software used by the association is Autodesk Fusion 360, however previous knowledge in any other CAD software is perfectly portable into this software.

Responsibilities

  • Make CAD models for the various parts of the rocket across all subsystems
  • Make the technical drawings for the various parts
  • Keep CAD file tree tidy and organised
  • Active on Discord and any other communication channels used by the project
  • Write documentation

Competencies

Required
  • Previous experience with some CAD software
Meriting
  • Familiarity with technical drawing good practices

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EuRoC ‘24 Simulations Responsible

Team: General Role

Work description

A sound and efficient design of the rocket requires an in-depth study of the rocket’s performance in an effort to optimise it as much as possible. After a first design stage, with a preliminary dimensioning of the rocket based on the material and technical constraints, the optimisation stage begins. Here the simulation responsible becomes a fundamental part of the design process, working closely with the various teams, and proposing design optimizations based on FEM simulations. This role does not entail involvement in the CAD that serves as basis for the simulations, only in the simulation part.

Responsibilities

  • Perform across-the-board Finite Element Analysis (CFD, thermal, structural, etc.) for the various rocket subsystems.
  • Propose design changes and optimizations based on the simulation results
  • Active on Discord and any other communication channels used by the project
  • Write documentation

Competencies

Required
  • Previous experience with any FEM software (COMSOL, Ansys, etc.)
Meriting
  • Previous experience with design optimization using FEM
