Fall 2010 LRR 11-02-10 Team SSTLaunch Readiness Review Vlad Soukhovei, John Marcantonio, Kara Bongiovanni, Eric James, Sean Rivera, Daniel Flora 11/02/10
Mission Overview • Ascend to 30 km, collecting data regarding temperature, air density, sound • Compare air density to sound to confirm expected relationship • Compare amounts of Carbon dioxide with sound data • Hypothesis: air density goes down=frequency increases, amplitude decreases • Large amounts of carbon dioxide result in new recorded frequencies • Why? Use sound as means of detecting gas
Predictions -As air density decreases due to altitude, frequency of sound will increase -As air density decreases, amplitude will decrease -Pitch will decrease with an increase in carbon dioxide percentage in ambient air
Biggest Worries/Concerns • BalloonSat is overweight • Difficulty extracting sound data due to outside noise • Identifying a correlation between carbon dioxide levels and sound data
