The story of this rocket dates back to 2010 at the École Polytechnique de Montréal when six aerospace engineering students were looking for a way to apply their classroom knowledge. This group of students formed the first student rocketry group in Québec, called Oronos Polytechnique. Soon after that, Oronos had the desire and the ambition to compete against other rocketry teams. The specific event in which this could take place was the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition which takes place in Green River, Utah. The 35 to 40 members of Oronos begun to build their rocket in mid April and by mid June, the " Zéphyr " was ready for the competition. The Zéphyr was launched in Utah on June 22nd. For the first time ever, a non-American team had won one of the categories of the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. The Zéphyr had reached an altitude of 9,920 feet (3, 023 meters). As of 2014, students from Canada, Brazil, India, Turkey and the U.S have participated at the I.R.E.C. As of 2015, the Zéphyr performance had yet to be beaten. The Oronos Polytechnique's achievements were highlighted in the well known and respected monthly magazine Québec Science. In 2013, Oronos began to work on a new and improved rocket, called the Zéphyr MK II (the rocket offered to the corporation). The improved design of the Zéphyr MK II earned Oronos Polytechnique its second victory at the I.R.E.C. Once again, the victory achieved by Oronos did not go unnoticed. One only needs to mention a television news report (CTV) as well as two Québec television station interviews (TVA and V-Télé) and some newspaper articles. L’histoire de cette fusée date de 2010 à l’École Polytechnique de Montréal lorsque six étudiants en génie aérospatial voulaient appliquer leurs connaissances théoriques. Ce groupe d’étudiants ont formés le premier groupe d’étudiants de fuséologie au Québec, nommé Oronos Polytechnique. Ces étudiants avaient le désire et l’ambition de faire concurrence contre autres équipes de fuséologies. Donc, ils ont décidé de s’inscrire à la compétition « Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering » qui a eu lieu à Green River, Utah. L’équipe d’Oronos d’environ 35 à 40 étudiants ont commencés la construction de leur fusée en mi-avril. Vers la mi-juin, leur fusée intitulée Zéphyr était finalisé. Le Zéphyr a été lancé à Utah le 22 juin. Pour la première fois, une équipe non-américaine avait gagné une des catégories de la compétition. Le Zéphyr a atteint une altitude de 9,920 pieds (3, 023 mètres). Dès 2014, la compétition a eu des équipes du Canada, du Brésil, l’Inde, la Turquie et des États-Unis qui ont participé. À compter de 2015, le record du Zéphyr n’a pas été battu. Les accomplissements d’Oronos Polytechnique ont été souligné dans la revue mensuelle Québec Science. En 2013, Oronos a commencé la construction d’une nouvelle fusée intitulée Zéphyr MK II (la fusée offerte à la Société). Le concept amélioré du Zéphyr MK II à remporté une deuxième victoire pour Oronos à la compétition « Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering ». Encore une fois, cette victoire d’Oronos a été reconnu publiquement. CTV a fait un reportage sur cette victoire ainsi que deux entrevues avec des chaînes de télévision québécoise (TVA et V-Télé) et aussi des articles de journaux.
Function
A rocket designed to take part in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. Une fusée conçue pour faire partie de la compétition " Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering " aux États-Unis.
Technical
The technical work of Oronos Polytechnique is a direct result of the development of high power rockets in the United States in the second half of the 1980s. Team members designed the wooden fins and internal bulkheads of the rocket. The very precise plans were supplied to an outside company which used a laser cutter to prepare them. Team members also designed the printed circuit boards. Plans were yet again supplied to an outside company. Team members welded the electronic components on the boards. The support system of the boards was designed in house. It was created with a 3D printer operated by the team. A few standard components, the rocket engine and the parachute for example, had to be used because the team was unable to make them. Members of Oronos Polytechnique installed these components on the rockets. In that regard, it is worth noting that the team very much intends to eliminate it dependency on outside sources. Team members are currently designing a parachute as well as two types of rocket engines, a solid fuel engine and a hybrid engine that uses both solid and liquid fuels. Le travail technique de la part d’Oronos Polytechnique est un résultat direct du développement des fusées à fort pouvoir aux États-Unis dans la seconde moitié des années 1980. Les membres de l’équipe ont conçu les ailerons de bois et les cloisons axiales interne de la fusée. Les plans très précis ont été fournis à une compagnie externe équipée avec un découpeur au laser. Les membres de l’équipe ont aussi conçu les inspecteurs de cartes de circuits imprimés. Ces plans ont aussi été fourni à une compagnie externe. Les membres d’Oronos ont soudé les composantes électroniques. Le système d’appui des planches avaient été conçues à l’interne. Il a été créé avec une imprimante 3D utilisée par l’équipe. Quelques composantes de base, comme le moteur de la fusée ainsi que le parachute, ont été achetés usagés étant donné que l’équipe était incapable de les fabriquer. Les membres d’Oronos Polytechnique ont installé ces composantes sur les fusées. Cela dit, il est important de noter que l’équipe a l’intention d’éliminer sa dépendance aux sources externes. Les membres de l’équipe conçoivent présentement un parachute ainsi que deux types de moteurs de fusées – un moteur à combustible solide et un moteur hybride utilisant des combustibles solides et liquides.
