Redesign nosecone

Opened this issue · 0 comments

The nosecone must be redesigned to adopt the new, longer shape. Its interior must also be fitted so that it can contain the total pressure PCB as well as a potential payload bay.

  • Create a new nosecone following the 5:1 ratio and tangent square root
  • Create a replaceable tip for the metal total pressure port, in order to reduce work if part of the nosecone must be replaced. This could be done by using epoxy and dissolving it (carefully) in acetone when the component needs to be replaced.
  • Likewise, create replaceable inserts for each of the thermocouples
  • Create a mechanical system to allow for the PCB to be mounted
  • Create a system to allow the air tubing to be tucked away when inserting the PCB
  • Create room for a payload bay.

Below is a schematic diagram of an example nosecone layout. The PCB and payload bay could potentially be inverted if the tubing/cabling is too long when inserting the PCB into place
