Payload

The Payload subteam is in charge of designing a scientific experiment to go inside the rocket. The payload crew is the most multidisciplinary group of the team as they work with several domains of engineering and science to design an apparatus to accommodate the experiment. In the last years, the payload subteam typically studied biological processes, but every year, the members work together to come up with new ideas and experiments!

A typical Payload member is

• From any faculty! (Science, Engineering, Medicine, etc. )

• Interested in electronics

• Interested in using engineering to understand biological processes

• Interested in designing tests, optimizing protocols and prototypes

Current Projects

• Biomechanical project testing the safety of space flight for people with orthopedic implants

• Research and Development of an orbital flight computer

• Research and Development for an orbital cubesat microfluidics experiment
