Project Overview

• Background
• The current LAMA prototype, at LASP, is too large
  for space applications and is not made with space
  rated materials
• New Prototype instrument
• Use space-qualified hardware
• Satisfy size and mass specifications.
• Overall Objective
• Design a space-rated scaled model of the LAMA
  instrument and to minimize its mass. To verify,
  results will be compared to the existing LAMA.

Resources

• Facilities
• LASP laboratories and testing facilities
  available for the fabrication and testing of the
  Mini-LAMA.
• Additional Advisors
• Professional mechanical and electrical engineers
  and a project manager will be available to meet
  with and assist students in the tasks of
  designing the flight instrument. The design and
  development of the laboratory prototype
  instrument will be supervised by project customer
  Zoltan Sternovsky. Any additional instruction
  will be provided by LASP engineers.
• Clarification
• Beyond guidance, if a particular component of the
  project is determined to be outside of the range
  of the students ability or knowledge, that
  component shall be the responsibility of the
  professional advisors to fabricate or educate the
  student to a level of competence. This is to
  ensure that the responsibilities of the students
  fall with in the scope of Senior Design
• Funds
• In addition to Senior Project funds, LASP will
  further provide 10,000 to 30,000 in additional
  funding for the project.
• Manufacturing
• Any electronic parts that are too complex for the
  student team to manufacture will be manufactured
  by professionals at LASP. Any commercially
  available subsystems will be purchased rather
  than manufactured.
