The Issues
1.) 1-D or 2-D Motion.
- Add rotation in 2-D if time is available
2.) Propellant Source
- C02
- Compressed Air
- Compressed Nitrogen
3.) Target Source
- Light Source
- Infrared Source
- Ultra Sonic
4.) Flow Speed
- Sub Sonic
- Sonic
- Super Sonic
5.) Nozzle Configuration (dependent on dimension of motion, i.e. 1-D or 2-D)
- Number of Nozzles
- Nozzle Orientation
6.) Simulation of Space Environment (frictionless surface)
- Air Bearings
- Modified Air Hockey Table
7.) What to Track
- Stationary Target
- Constantly Moving Target
