  1. Team HAeHOHigh Altitude High Opening High Altitude Balloon Instrument Survival Package Joseph Burns, Tom Fox, Austin Isitor, Nick Schuyler

  2. Introduction • Replacement for Temperature Satellite project in 2005 • Grants from Ohio Space Grant Consortium and National Science Foundation • Idea is to build “package” that will carry electrical equipment to 100,000 ft, drop, freefall for 35-40,000 ft, then deploy parachute • Past problems include unsuccessful parachute deployment

  3. Introduction • Because of the altitude involved, we are at the mercy of the elements at high altitude • Flight prediction software is extremely important to a successful launch • Ultimate goal of the team is to find a design that will significantly increase the likelihood of a successful launch and recovery • New parachute release mechanism • New ballute design • Eliminate parachute altogether?

  4. Purpose of Project Apply knowledge gained to a real life application Further the collective knowledge of the WSUHAB team Provide insight on designs in support of Martian atmospheric reentry vehicles Provide a reliable and safe method of deploying and retrieving instruments

  5. Scope of Work • Brainstorming ideas for materials, fundamental designs, and manufacturing process • Design of entire unit in computer in SolidWorks • Fabrication of parts with Epilog Legend Mini 24 Laser Cutting Machine • Work with electrical engineering team to facilitate implementation of their design • Optimization of components • Deployment and retrieval of package

  6. Expected Results of Design • If design tests successfully in launch, it will: • protect instruments • impact the ground at >35 mph • deform plastically to absorb energy • initially deploy parachute with no entanglement • eventually deploy inflatable ballute and keep it inflated throughout decent • If design tests unsuccessfully in launch, the team will: • analyze what went wrong • determine how it went wrong • correct design • relaunch with improvements • Suggest improvements for future designs
