Mission Statement Jaevyn Faulk • Collect Ultraviolet Radiation • Compare data we collect to past data on sun’s activity. • Study how solar activity has changed throughout an eleven-year sunspot cycle and how it has changed recently. • Using data from previous flights and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to find the change in activity of the sun.
Mission OverviewDevon Connor • Increasing UV radiation. • Hypothesize that UV radiation levels will be higher than in past years. • Determine if radiation is increasing or not. • Harmful effects on communication and life on Earth. • Solar flare cycle
Technical Overview Lucas Ibarra • Sensors • Six light to frequency converters • UVB photodiode • Positioned on 5 sides of the Balloon SAT TW30SX UV Photo Diode SFE Light to Frequency Converter
Design Dylan Anderson • Rigid Structure of Foam Core • 15cm x 15cm x 15cm • Two Camera’s • Arduino • HOBO Data Logger Canon A78 Heating System HOBO Data Logger 9V Batteries Go Pro Arduino Uno

ManagementEvan Long • Evan Long - Integration • Dylan Anderson - Structural Design • Alexis Sutker - C&DH Filming • Jaevyn Faulk - Science • Lucas Ibarra - C&DH • Eric Hardwick - Power & Data Collection • Devon Connor - Power & Data Collection • Jack Oblack - Budget Management
Biggest WorriesJack Oblack • Temperature (GoPro only good to -10 C) • Programming correctly • Sifting through all the UV frequencies after we retrieve data • Getting everything done on time • Integrating everything together properly
