- Rocket Stability Analysis
The AerospaceNU club at Northeastern recently built a new rocket for testing experimental mechatronic systems and flew it for the first time with no payload. The rocket … - Hele-Shaw Cell Apparatus
The interaction of two fluids in a porous medium is dependent on their viscosities and the pressure gradient applied, as well as other secondary factors including surface … - Marman Clamp Separation and Retention System
As part of a project to build a liquid bipropellant rocket for a Northeastern University aerospace club, I am working to develop a Marman clamp to rigidly …Continue reading “Marman Clamp Separation and Retention System”
- Instrumented Nose Cone Assembly
Over the past year I have been working on a test rocket for data collection and validation of novel systems as part of an aerospace club project … - Certification and Payload Test Rocket
Earlier this year, I built a 7′ rocket to obtain L1 and L2 certifications from the National Rocketry Association. I flew it twice to earn my certifications, … - Line Cutter
Another project I am working on for AerospaceNU at Northeastern University is a line cutter for disreefing circumferentially reefed parachutes. I designed the mechanics for our current … - Car-Mounted Parachute Testing Apparatus
In the spring of 2020 I began investigating various parachute reefing systems for use on a liquid bipropellant rocket being built by Aerospace NU, an engineering club … - Linear Carriage Parachute Control System
To prevent extreme accelerations and excessive drift, I developed a parachute system that can control up to three deployment or disreefing events. Several constraints were imposed on …
