Remnant-Based Metrics for Simulator Fidelity
Sponsored by the NASA NY Space Grant
With today's cutting edge technology we are able to use teleoperation (a method of controlling devices from a distance) to explore areas of extreme conditions in outer space unsafe for human travel. The biggest issue with Earth-Space teleoperation is that over large distances, there are signal delays. This research studied the effects of time and signal delays on the ability of a space drone operator to execute a "landing and latching" procedure on a satellite. The space drone landing simulator was created on MATLAB / Simulink and analyzed via the Integrated PSD method. |

Airplane Landing Gear

The landing gear is perhaps the most significant mechanism for airplanes, playing a role in liftoff as well as landing. Due to aerodynamic properties when flying, the airplane landing gears need to have the ability to retract itself to stow away during flight mode and deploy during taxi mode. This project involved the part design, material selection, assembly, and strength analysis. Testing involved Finite Element Analysis for a dynamic test (deployment and retraction) and static test (shock absorption test when landing). The modelling and simulations were all created and executed on PTC Creo Pro/E. Note: For efficient rendering and loading, 3D models have been uploaded with the lowest resolution
