Unique ID Verification Plan Verification Status and Progress Report Location SOW 4.2 A system will be designed capable of being launched in a high-powered rocket, deploying safely, and recovering simulated lunar ice from one of several locations on the surface
safe by NAR, FAA, and NASA as well as will
adhere to the intent of the challenge. Additional experiments will be documented appropriately and will not contribute to scoring. In Progress The design, analysis, construction, and testing
verification flight remaining. Section 4 SOW 4.3.1 The launch vehicle will be launched from the NASA-designated launch area using provided launch pad. All hardware utilized during the mission must be launched within the launch vehicle. Complete Payload systems have not been designed to use hardware besides that included within the launch vehicle and to be launched from a NASA-designated launch area using provided launch pad.
