  2. Mission Overview • Objectives: • Measure gamma radiation during ascent • Expecting to discover ionizing radiation increases as a function of altitude • Measure air quality during ascent • Expecting air to have fewer dust particles • Record HD video • Spike interest of younger students in math, science, and engineering • Why? • Public outreach • Verify that atmosphere is necessary for radiation dampening

  3. Design Overview

  4. Results and Analysis • Arduino One (environmental data) functioned perfectly • Arduino Two (experimental data) had complete failure • GoPro camera functioned perfectly • Heater subsystem functioned perfectly • Canon camera functioned perfectly

  5. Geiger/Dust Sensor

  7. Internal Temperature

  8. Humidity

  9. Pressure

  10. Accelerometer

  11. Failure Analysis ARDUINO TWO • Needed more power • Moved from one 9V to three 9V • Connected leads incorrectly • Arduino became corrupted

  12. Conclusions • Temperature: • 0-10km: Decreases • 10km to 20km: Constant • 20km to 30 km: Increase • Pressure: • Ascent: Decreases • Descent: Increases • Acceleration • Some G-Forces as flight initially stabilizes • Constant during main ascent • Large G-Forces after burst • Geiger Counter & Dust Sensor • Inconclusive due to corrupted Arduino • GO Pro video was helpful and interesting in outreach

  13. Ready to Fly Again • No structural modification/replacement • Two new Arduino Unos and SD cards • New Geiger Counter and Dust Sensor • All environmental sensors still functional • New batteries

  14. Lessons Learned • Overall, Gateway to Space was an incredible learning experience despite our failures. • Small details are vital. Our mission failed because of a simple misconnection. • Learned time management the hard way. If we could do things over, our schedule would be revamped. • We also would have contacted faculty who aided us earlier in the semester.
