Team Logo Operation Concept(CONOPS) The main points to be considered in the process before launchingthe rocket are as follows : 1. Connecting the Rocket to Crane There must be U Bolt sent by T B TAK SAGE on the rocket. The rocket will hang from this U Bolt to the crane. The U Bolt must be in line with the center of gravity and connected to the main frame. Vehicle hung with U Bolt must stand perpendicular to the ground. 2. Connecting the Safe Disconnection Connector A safe disconnection connector will be available near the area where the U bolt attaches to the rocket body (maximum 5 cm away). Note: If the safe disconnection connector is far from the center of gravity and the direction through the U Bolt, it may cause a disruptive effect on the rocket when it is disconnected from the crane. It is therefore recommended that the safe disconnection connector be close to the U Bolt. After the rocket is suspended from the crane, the male side of the safe disconnection connector on the rocket will be connected to the female side on the crane. The purpose of this connector is to prevent the cold gas propulsion system from opening before the rocket leaves the crane. 3. ApplyingElectrical Power to the Rocket With the electric switch located in the body of the rocket, electrical energy will be supplied to the vehicle from the battery. In this case, the operation of all components will be ensured except the cold gas propulsion system. The male and female side of the safe disconnection connector will be separated from each other when the electric motor driven crane hook is opened. In this way, the cold gas propulsion system will be activated when the rocket leaves the crane. In this section, the requirements 4.3.3 and 4.3.4 in the specification will be checked. 2024 TEKNOFEST VERTICAL LANDING ROCKET COMPETITION LAUNCH READINESS REPORT (LRR) 17 March 2025 8
