InformationWeek 13
April 7th - 10th Week 13 is all about Final Review and Open House prep. Going forward, the students should focus on refining and practicing their presentations as well as completing deliverables and outreach activities. VIDEOS - STUDENTS/TEACHERS:
Week 12
March 30 - April 3rd Week 12 will be a work week, so there will be no new content or videos for students or teachers. We will be finishing up a couple TPR#3's, but besides that, teams should take this time to finish up slides, practice presenting, and work on the upcoming deliverables. As of now, the issue with Canvas has been resolved. Please let me know if you have any further issues accessing content! Important dates: - Monthly Analytics Report (MAR) #2 is due Tuesday, March 31st - Open House Poster is due Monday, April 13th - Online Outreach Evaluation is due Friday, April 17th - MAR #3 is due Monday, April 20th - Final Review is due Monday, April 20th Week 11
March 23 - 27th Week 11, which focuses on Lessons Learned. We will also be finishing up TPR#3. Note: After TPR #3, we know many teams are working on finalizing engineering analysis. If your teams need anything from us regarding EA (or anything, really) I HIGHLY recommend getting into contact with us sooner rather than later, as the queue gets long around this point in the semester! Videos: All Groups: 1) Lessons Learned: This video is about what the teams have learned all semester, this video should help the teams reflect back on what they’ve learned all semester and what would they change if they had a chance to do all of this again! March 9th - 13th: Spring Break
Week 8 (March 2-6th) Week 8 begins Tuesday, March, 2nd. This is one of the most important weeks in InSPIRESS. The design team will be working on Engineering Analysis which is where physics and math come into play. The videos are long this week, but they should really help the teams. Leadership: 1) TPR #3 Video: This video goes over the new slides for TPR #3 Design: 1) EA Orbiter: This video is ONLY for the teams that are deploying from the orbiter. The video should guide them through each step of the engineering analysis. 2) EA Lander: This video is ONLY for the teams that are deploying from the landers. The video should cover all phases of engineering analysis when deploying from the landers. 3) EA Batteries: This video is also required regardless of what vehicle the team deploys from. This video helps the teams design and size their batteries to power their payload. 4) Risk Analysis: This video will help teams identify and rate risks to their payloads. Outreach: 1) Open House Poster: This video covers the requirements and recommendations for the Open House Poster. This is a busy week, especially for design, so the students shouldn't hesitate to reach out if they need help! Week 7 (Feb 23rd - Feb27th)
This week, the teams will begin selecting their final concepts and continuing outreach activities. Videos for Week 7: Design: 1) Concept Selection Trade Study (~ 9 mins): This video talks about how the teams should proceed with the design alternatives and how to select the “best” concept. 2) Material Selection Trade Study (~ 6 mins): This video helps the teams develop and understand what materials to use on their concepts (mainly housing). Outreach: 1) Outreach Checkup (~ 8 mins): This video helps the teams analyze their outreach progress and what things to do as they move forward. Leadership: 1) Scary Video (~ 6 mins): This video talks about the scariest part of the whole project - DUE DATES! *insert spooky noises here* Reminder: The teams' first deliverable, Monthly Analytics Report #1, Is DUE on Thursday, February 27th. If the teams are unsure how to complete this assignment they should reference the Week 3 video "Outreach Reporting" for instructions. Please have them email us with any questions! Week 6 (Feb 16-20)
Week 6 will be starting, Tuesday, Feb 17th. This week we’ll have our second team progress report (TPR #2). This covers all the slides that are in the Payload Status Review (PSR) template. This is the same template that the students have been working on. Thursday, Feb 19th - Grand Forks (Team 1) 8 am Friday, Feb 20th - Grand Forks (Team 2) 8 am Week 7 will have the first monthly Analysis report #1 due Videos for this week: Students: None Week 5 (Feb 9-13)
Week 5 we will be moving on from TPR#1 and beginning prep for TPR#2. This is the point in the project where teams get to put their engineering hats on and begin coming up with their payload designs. Additionally, Week 5 is when the students will start planning for their in-person Activities for Community Engagement (ACEs). For TPR template - teams do not need to start over completely, they can just add the new slides into their original powerpoint. Videos for Week 5: Leadership: 1) TPR #2 Prep (~ 10 mins): This video gets the students ready for the next progress report. We go over each slide that they will present and what to talk about for each slide. Design: 1) Alternatives and ConOps (~ 11 mins): This video talks about how to develop the different concepts for the next phase. It talks about splitting each team in two groups to come up with ideas for concepts and discuss them. Outreach: 1) ACE Planning and Procedures ( ~ 12 mins): This video talks about how to plan for the in-person ACE activities. They should watch this video before they watch the tutorials. 2) ACE Tutorials (13 videos): The Outreach team is required to watch only the ones that interest them. They are NOT required to watch all 15 videos. Week 4 ( Feb 2nd - 6th)
We start with the first Team Progress Reports (TPR's) next week. This is when the teams present us their science objectives, team identity and other things (more details in Week 3 Leadership Videos). How TPRs work: We will meet with your students and they will show us their slides via presentation style. It's a great way for them to practice speaking in front of others! They will also receive verbal/written feedback for their presentation (slide aesthetics, ideas, and presentation skills) which they are expected to apply to their slides before presenting TPR 2. Essentially when they start working on TPR 2 they shouldn't start from scratch. They should fix their slides from TPR 1 using our/your own feedback and simply add in the new slides for TPR 2. The project builds on itself! Hopefully this makes sense! We don’t have any videos for Week 4. TPR #1 Friday Feb 6th - Grand Forks Monday - Tuesday - Wed - (Early Release) Thurs - How will you present? order? Stand? Email Presentation slides to Aubrey Friday - TPR #1 Week 3 (Jan 26th - Jan 30)
InSPIRESS will be in full swing in Week 3! The focus for Week 3 will be selecting science objectives, creating team identity, and preparing for team progress report #1. From this point forward, each group (leadership, design, and outreach) will have their own videos to watch. Leadership:
Design Videos:
Outreach Videos:
Monday - Watch week 3 Video Tuesday - Groups share Video highlights, Discuss Science Objective Wed - Watch another teams videos Thurs - Science Objective/Team Identify Friday - Prep for TPR #1 UPCOMING - Week 4 - TPR #1 - Friday Feb 6th Week 2 (Jan 19-23)
Week 2 is the only week where we have a video for the teams to watch and we’ll be seeing them in-person. GF TBA (26-30) This week the teams should focus on reviewing the first part of the book (Request for Payload), to understand the project structure and components. Student Video For Week 2:

Sydney Summers IDEAS LAB Research Scientist [email protected] Aubrey Savery The University of Alabama in Huntsville Huntsville, AL 35899 Office: 256.824.7629 | [email protected] Mission: This semester, the InSPIRESS destination is the Moon. The two mission vehicles will be an orbiter (VADER) at 100 km altitude above Earth's moon and land in separate crater. The students can go ahead and start doing their own research and thinking of science objectives that might interest them. We will cover science objectives more in depth over the next couple of weeks.
