Boilerplate intro about why all of this was done
|
||||
For my team was tasked with designing a system capable of moving mining equipment and materials around the surface of the Moon using a propolsive landing. The system had to be tested on earth with something that was feasible for our team to build in 2 semesters. One of the first considerations my capstone advisor wanted was to test the feasibility of an air propulsion system instead of the obvious solution that of using solid rocket motors. This document is really just _napkin math_ to determine if the system is even feasibly and is not mean't to be a rigorous study of an air propulsion system which would easily keep a capstone team busy by itself.
