The Adaptable Deployable Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT) Sounding Rocket One (SR-1) fight test will be the first sub-orbital flight of Nano-ADEPT. Nano-ADEPT is a deployable heatshield for secondary payload missions desiring to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere or deliver small science payloads to Mars or Venus. Two units have been built and tested in preparation of launch: one designated the "Spare" unit and one the "Flight" unit. The general development approach has been to perform all procedures on the Spare prior to performing them on Flight. This approach has served the project well, allowing for procedures to be rapidly developed and tested on spare hardware where mistakes are less consequential. Conversely, when schedule constraints have come up, the approach has allowed the project to rapidly pivot to an approach where Flight drives the critical path rather than Spare. This approach has enabled relatively rapid development of Flight where technical risk is balanced with schedule realism. This presentation will describe the various tests that have been performed on Nano-ADEPT Spare and Flight units to prepare for the sub-orbital flight. The purpose is to communicate the development approach we took for this low-cost, moderate-risk flight test and hopefully engage the EDL community in a wider discussion of risk-balanced approaches toward flight hardware development of secondary payload atmospheric entry systems.
