Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team - ASAT

Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team

The largest aerospace student team in Greece

Few words about our team

Aristotle Space & Aeronautics Team (ASAT) was founded in November 2015, as the first aerospace student team of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece. The team’s main scope is contributing to making the field of aerospace known within the Greek academic community, as well as the general public.

Today, ASAT conducts research through 2 multidisciplinary departments, Aeronautics and Rocketry, that develop innovative R&D projects in these fields, while also taking part in worldwide competitions ASAT proudly holds a place amongst the top 10 student teams in Europe at both mentioned fields, ranked 9 th in Aeronautics and 7 th in Rocketry at the latest competitions.

Today, ASAT composes of 2 technical departments, Aeronautics and Rocketry, that conduct scientific research, take part in global competitions and work on innovative R&D projects.

The airbrakes system controls the rocket's apogee by generating precise aerodynamic drag through the extension of the fins into the airflow.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁?

1. A revamped mechanism boasting superior operational capabilities, thanks to mathematical optimization of the variable transmission ratio.
2. Enhanced electronics that compute the rocket's state, ensuring pinpoint accuracy.
3. A newly optimized aerodynamic fin design ensures a heightened coefficient of drag, effectively influencing the direction of airflow.
4. Our improved simulations harness the power of MPC (Model Predictive Control) methods to regulate the rocket's apogee.

We'd like to specially thank the Axinar team, providing high precision @cnc_cat manufacturing services and the @cosmosaluminium team for providing all the necessary raw materials for this project! 💫

Thank you for being by our side all these years!🙏

The structural subsystem is responsible for ensuring the structural integrity and enduring durability of the aircraft. It also plays a pivotal role in conducting research and developing manufacturing methods integral to the construction process.🛩⭐️

During the preliminary design phase, the comprehensive 3D modeling of the Phoenix aircraft has been successfully concluded, with consideration given to the specifications and constraints of the avionics equipment to be employed. The primary objective of this design phase was to facilitate an easy assembly and disassembly of the aircraft, all while ensuring its long-term durability throughout its missions.✅️

Additionally, extensive research efforts have been undertaken in the realm of construction methods and materials, with the aim of achieving a construction process that is not only fast but also easy and reliable.✨️

Hardware Development is one of the most important subsystems in the design process of Phoenix as it is responsible for designing, selecting and placing all of the avionics equipment used in the UAV.🛩⭐️

Firstly, we started researching electronics suitable for the challenging mission of Phoenix; servomotors powerful enough to quickly move the control surfaces, a radio transmitter/receiver capable of reaching great distances and suitable cables/connectors. ✅️

Some of the above equipment, such as the transmitter or the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), needed to be programmed to ensure optimal function.📈

To be able to receive and visualise critical flight data (battery condition, power from the solar panel etc.) on the ground station, software was developed so the onboard Raspberry Pi could collect such data from the MPPT and the BMS (Battery Management System). Additionally, the selected motor was studied (both in theory and with experiments) to ensure adequate cooling during the long flights. 🔋

💡Lastly, the hardware development subsystem, in cooperation with the communications subsystem, designed our UAV's antennas!📶✨️

Check out the airframe of Eclipse, featuring the sleek fins, nosecone, and boattail! 👀

These components have been meticulously crafted by our team, using carbon fiber.💫

In particular, the fins, in addition to undergoing rigorous CFD studies, have been specially manufactured with a fiberglass core. This innovative design not only enhances their strength but also provides material duality, effectively preventing the dreaded flutter effect.📈

We are immensely proud of the dedication and skill displayed by our structural team in creating these remarkable pieces.✨️
