General goals are: * Have a designated project manager * Hold regular meetings for brain storming, manufacturing, and testing * To learn from other's mistakes and successes (and of course our own) * Have everyone be committed to the project (whatever we finally decide that is) * Create a schedule * Productive attitudes! Technical goals are: *By Black Rock 2005, have a flight article (as close as is feasible) LOX paraffin motor ready for static test fire. This motor will be designed to produce a specific amount of thrust (to be determined by the group ASAP). *To accomplish this achievement, several sub-goals must be accomplished (these are ideas of the direction we could take - I believe I am taking them from a comment Evan made at the last meeting - design details to be discussed and solved during meetings): * Complete trouble shooting the small scale GOX static test set-up to the point where thrust, chamber pressure and paraffin burn rate are essentially understood * Adjust the small scale static test set-up to fire with LOX and understand it's performance * Scale up what we have learned and prepare for the Black Rock static fire * to cross train team members on manufacturing * to understand how each aspect of the hybrid motor will relate to one another, allowing us to optimize an efficient design * Be safe! * General technical goals beyond 2005 include a launch in 2006, then an effort to examine the possibility of active guidance for a 2007 launch (assuming computer systems and software are available). Trying to address active guidance at this point seems very premature. My Personal goals: * To work towards a motor that will aid PSAS in obtaining it's ultimate goal * To be a part of an awesome team of people * To be helpful and useful * To learn as much as I can
