Hang Seven Launch Readiness Review Lucas Migliorini, Becca Lidvall, Paul Smith Chase Goodman, Ethan Hollenbach, Nikhil Desai, Abby Caballero, Sierra Williams November 26, 2012
Mission Overview •Build three geiger counters •Measure Gamma Radiation as Altitude Increases •Test the effectiveness of aluminum and carbon fiber on reducing radiation levels
Design Overview • Hexagonal Design • Centripetal Acceleration • Foam Core • Thermal Insulation • Geiger Tubes • One will be covered with Carbon Fiber Tubing • One will be covered with Aluminum Tubing • One will not be covered, as a control • Arduino • Will control all sensors and Camera

Internal: Dry Ice Test • Dry ice test results were inconclusive • We plan to look into the problem and do more testing to ensure that the internal components can withstand the temperatures they will be exposed to.
Test Results Part 3 Structural: Drop Test • Two drop tests were performed • A few dents around the corners after the first test were found • A tear occurred after the second drop test on one of the sidewalls • The structure supported the maximum amount of weight allowed
Structural: Kick Test • One kick test was performed • Minimal damage was done • The structure supported the maximum amount of weight allowed
Structural: Whip Test • Two whip tests performed • No damage was found • The structure supported the maximum amount of weight allowed
Structural: Test Conclusion • The three different structural tests performed show that our structure will withstand the ascent and descent of the flight with minimal damage
Biggest Worries Hardware/Software -Geiger Counter Failure -Faulty Programing -Sensor Failure -Battery Life Data -Insufficient data -Inaccurate data -Inconsistent data
