Throughout the Spring 2021 semester, Team Earth participated in multiple lab experiments to garner a full understanding of the AEV design process. Each lab had a specific purpose, with focuses ranging from concept creation to efficiency testing. While the descriptions are not extremely in-depth, each page in this design documentation section gives a summary of the labs experiments which were performed. A general schedule outlining the first 5 lab experiments is given at the beginning of the list below. This schedule was then revised once Team Earth traveled into their preliminary/critical design portion. The revised version is found under the Test Readiness Review (TRR) section. Each lab page will also include a small sum of meeting notes which were taken during the various lab experiments.
