For our Langmuir probe, a major concern is structural integrity. With an initial acceleration of 20gs we anticipate 120 lbf of force at the end of the sensor. Through simulations can determine behavior under maximum stress and convince @NASA_Wallops our design is safe for flight!

We have just been updated the rocket launch has been moved to August. We are taking this extra time to enhance our design while practicing social distancing. After a brief hiatus from the twitter game I have updates to follow!

Here is our plate design lead Pinar working with her advisor, Dobby on the 3D printed plate model. A lot of thought goes into this design; this is the system that will secure our measurement electronics and power distribution unit inside the rocket during launch #WomenInSTEM 👩‍🔬

Here's an exploded assembly of our probe. Same design as our avi, but you can see what goes into designing a probe! Concerns ranging from structural support to signal loss, effects from the rocket to properties of plasmas all contributed to our design. Too much for one tweet!!
