This poster presents the details of work on the SunSat spacecraft design initiative at the University of North Dakota. This project seeks to advance technologies1 and to increase public awareness of Space Solar Power based via visualization, science and engineering work. It will also focus on the development and demonstration of a workable solution and consider the economic benefits2 that the proposed (and alternate) solutions may generate. This poster details the design project which will construct a transmitting Nano Space Solar Power Satellite (NSSPS) and a power reception satellite for a space-to-space Microwave Wireless Power (MWP) demonstration. The SmallSatstyle spacecraft4, …

This project uses Newton’s Second Law of Motion, Euler’s method, basic physics, and basic calculus to model the flight path of a rocket. From this project, one can find the height and velocity at any point from launch to the maximum altitude, apogee. Once complete this can be compared to what the actual values were to see if the method is a plausible way of estimation. The rocket used in this project is modeled after Bullistic-1 which was launched by the Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry at the University of South Florida.
