  3. To collect measurements at high altitudes of atmospheric temperature and pressure, the internal temperature and dynamic movement of a payload that meets HASP flight requirements. Mission Objective Budget: $500 Schedule: 8 Weeks 6/4/12 -7/27/12

  4. Mission Requirements Functional Requirements Log/Store data from the sensors on a non-viotile storage device Power Sensors and any electronics needed to run these sensors Protect the system from environmental conditions Protected from the impact upon landing/jerk from the balloon pop Provide state of health information of the system Performance Requirements Consume 5 watts in order to accurately represent the research team’s thermal output Log data from the temperature and pressure sensors at a rate of 1 measurement per second Provide insulation to keep the internal temperature between -40 C and 60C Must provide at least 4 hours of power for the duration of the setup, flight, and recovery time. Must withstand an vertical force of 10 G and a horizontal force of 5 G Physical Requirements Must weight 1.62 kg Maximum Total Volume: 15 cm x 15 cm x 30 cm Must mechanically interface with the HASP payload plate in addition to the BOREALIS system Reliability Requirements Must be able to survive preliminary tests and two launches

  6. Computer System Computer System 2012 Payload Logging Data Interpreting Data Reading from Sensors SD Card SD Shield Computer System Electrical System Mechanical System

  7. Start Retrieve Data Setup: Start LED’s, define pins, startup SD library, startup IMU, define timers Get Accelerometer and Gyroscope Values Interpret Data Store in RAM Loop: Update Timers, average IMU data Goes through same process for Pressure Sensor, and all Three Temperature Sensors Average Values Store on SD card, with timestamp (millis) Timer goes off Analog Sensors Event Store current averages in Array IMU Event Store IMU averages to SD card with timestamp (millis) Reset current averages and clear average array Program Flow Chart

  8. Testing • SD card • Timer Events • SD card, RTC (not used), and timers • Reading from Analog Sensors • Reading from IMU

  9. Testing Cont. • Timer Events

  10. Testing Cont. • SD card, RTC, and timers

  11. Testing Cont. • Reading From Analog Sensors

  12. Data from Burn In Test RTC was not working correctly, addressing problem with Gyroscope, but it was able to record and store data for the duration of the Burn In Test

  13. Cold Test • In the second cold test, only the analog sensor data was collected. • Problem with temperature sensors • Collected data every second for duration. • 5753462 milliseconds ~ 95.891 minutes

  14. Refrigerator Test • After getting new temperature sensors, the computer and sensor were placed in the fridge for ~10 min. trials. • The fridge got down to 8C.

  15. Flight Plan • For the first flight, just the analog sensors (pressure and three temperature) will be used. • Between flights the IMU will be tested (addressing issue is fixed) • Second flight will have all sensors hooked up.

  20. Burn In Test Results

  21. Burn In Test • Total Discharge • Needed to add power resistors which updated the current pulled from the batteries to 0.241919771 A

  22. Cold Test • Cold Test • Put the temp sensor into the fridge with an external temp sensor and recorded the values of the test.

  23. Output Wattage • Power Resistors • Needed to add 2W to the inside of the payload to reach the required 5W

  24. Output Wattage Pressure: 0.00528 Temp Sensors: 0.0165 Batteries: 2.915037 Power Resistor: 2.063 Total: 4.999817 P=I*V

  28. Mechanical Systems Requirements • Thermal • Must be similar to the MSU HASP Research Team structure materials • Polystyrene must be used for the insulation (approx. 1 cm thickness) • A shiny reflective aluminum coating should be applied • Additional material or support structures will be needed to make the structure strong • The internal temperature of the payload must be kept between -40 C and 60 C • Structural System • Enclosure • The external volume may not exceed 5.875 in x 5.875 in x 11.8 in (15 cm x 15 cm x 30 cm) • The internal volume must be at least 131.6 in3 : 4.5 in x 4.5 in x 6.5 in • Attach Enclosure Structure • HASP • Enclosure must securely attach to HASP Plate and not be disconnected for the duration of the flight • Must be easily attached and unattached from the ASP plate for ease of assembly and disassembly • BOREALIS • Must attach to the BOREALIS rope connection system • Impact Forces • Must withstand a vertical impulse force of 10 G’s • Must withstand a horizontal impulse force of 5 G’s

  29. Preliminary Design Review Results

  30. Immediate Changes to the PDR ** Reduced height to 6 inches ** Choose to not use corner rebar wire ** Changed L Brackets to Corner Brackets ** Not using Plaskolite

  31. Assembly : Initial Trials Fiberglass and Resin + foam = disaster Fiberglass and Resin + Aluminum foil + duck tape = success

  32. New Design Implementations • Improved Design Considerations • Access Electronics while they are attached to HASP Plate • No Reflective surfaces as not to interfere with other HASP Payloads • HASP Power Cord entrance • Implementing Technique • Make the top and one side panel removable • Paint the exterior white • Cut a small aperture at the back of the payload for cords to run in.

  33. Payload : Structural Elements Structural Support Enhancers: * Fiber Glass Cloth* Corner Brackets Material Configuration 0.5” thick Expanded Polystyrene Insulation White Reflective Paint Fiber Glass Cloth W/ resin

  34. Payload :Electronic Stabilization * 4-40 Hex Socket Cap Screws

  35. Payload : Exterior Surface Krylon Flat White Paint - Chosen by the HASP team due to research done by prior space flight teams from MSU

  36. Payload : Assembly • -HASP Plate • -High Conductive Copper Heat Sink • -3 walled structure • 1 wall • 1 top • 17 – 10-32 x ½” button head screws • 4 – 10-32 x 1” button head screws • 4 – 4-40 x 1.25” hex socket cap screws • 4- 4-40 x 2.0” hex socket cap screws

  37. Payload : Attachment to HASP • Corner Brackets • 4 – 10 32 x 1” button head screws • 4 - #10 Nuts

  38. Payload : Attachment to BOREALIS Due to odd shape and unevenly distributed weight, the BOREALIS Team is configuring an attachment plan.

  39. Mechanical System - Testing Type of Test -Drop Test -Long Term Thermal Test • What will be Tested • - Accelerometers • Structure components • -Insulation • -Heat Sink

  40. Test #1 : Drop Tests Accelerometer Testing ** Must withstand a 10 G vertical load ** Must withstand a 5 G horizontal load Test: The accelerometer was attached to the inside of the box with duct tape. A lab view program was set up to collect acceleration data from X, Y, Z, and Total Acceleration. The interior was padded with packing foam. The box was dropped from various heights, ensuring that the G loads were met.

  41. Test #1 : Drop Test Results Vertical Test Horizontal Test Maximum Load: 15 G Maximum Load : X - 8 G Y – 10 G

  42. Test #1 : Drop Test Results A drop test was completed to test the ability of the box to withstand a much higher load. The over all acceleration reached over 20 G, and the vertical load reached 19 G. The enclosure showed no signs of wear or tear after these tests The enclosure will withstand the G loads required by HASP

  43. Test #2: Thermal Test Cold Room Test: *Cold room at -60 C *Raise temperature to -20C *No results due to failure to collect data from temperature sensors due to electronic problems
