  3. ArduinoPutting the Robotics in SHARP Servo 2. The Motor Shield Kit and Servos Servos are the easiest way to start making motion with an Arduino. Even though they don't turn 360 degrees, you can use them to create all sorts of periodic or reciprocating motions. In this project, potentiometer values are read in through an 'Analog In' pin. The values are then used to control the position of a servo motor.

  5. 3. The Arduino Data Logger & GPS Shields SD Memory Card GPS Sensor To collect temperature, acceleration, and location data, to trigger a servo at a predetermined altitude on descent (parachute release on SHARP-4). Arduino Development Boards Under the Shield

  6. Ardupilot Mega at DIY Drones $250 kit Convert any RC airplane into a fully-autonomous UAV! Just add the ArduPilot Mega autopilot to any RC aircraft and it becomes a fully-programmable flying robot with a powerful ground station and Mission Planner. Features include: Return to Launch with a flick of your RC toggle switch or a mouse click in the graphical Ground Station Unlimited 3D GPS waypoints Built-in camera control Fully-scriptable missions One-click software load, and easy point-and-click configuration in the powerful Mission Planner. NO programming required! Replay recorded missions and analyze all the data with a graphing interface Supports two-way telemetry with Xbee wireless modules. Point-and-click waypoint entry or real-time mission commands while the UAV is in the air Fly with a joystick or gamepad via your PC--no need for RC control! Built-in failsafe will bring your aircraft home in the case of radio loss

  7. 4. Stratospheric Heating Experiment (SHE) • SHARP-2 recorded a low external temperature of -41 °C. SHARP-3 will place both Marathon DL precision temperature sensors on the outside of the payload box. One will be covered in aluminum foil to reflect radiation from the sun and a comparison of the temperatures recorded will indicate whether heating is primarily by conduction or radiation in the stratosphere. • We can still log temperature inside the payload.

  8. 5. Improved Imaging • Two 808 #16 Keychain Cameras will be used to capture HD video of the Glider’s Release and the Cut-Down of the Payload. • We can also use the cameras from SHARP-1/2 (Canon A1200, GoPro HD Video, Sony etc.) • New compartments will need to be built. The SPOT Messenger (GPS) will need to stand vertically. 9 gram HD Video Camera! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSg-8ktRq4U&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

  10. 6. RC Rocket Glider Drop Glider dropping experience will be gained on SHARP-3 for a SHARP-4 mission. The ARCIE II Kit by Edmonds Aerospace A Boost Rocket Glider RC servo, receiver, battery is in body and under the wing

  11. The ARCIE II comes complete with booster pod, glider, Hitec 3 channel FM transmitter with rechargeable battery pack, Hitec Feather receiver (w/ matching crystal), rechargeable battery pack (for receiver), 1 servo and a battery charger that works for both battery packs. Length: 21.25 in. Wingspan: 18 in. Equipment Fairing Diameter: 0.98 in. Weight: Glider, raw parts: 2.3 oz. (approx.) Glider, built, w/ RC gear: 3.5 oz. (approx.) Booster + Glider (w/ RC gear, no engine): 5 oz. (approx.) Recommended Engines: C11-3, D12-3 and E9-4

  14. Glider Release by Arduino/Servo inside the Payload OR by RC Transmitter on the Ground? The Quanum R/C bomb system can be installed in minutes and is triggered by a spare servo channel in your receiver. But we will probably use our Arduino triggered servo as primary glider release.

  15. The Release Mechanism The line fits down the tube. An RC Sailplane Release (SHARP 3/4 Payload/Glider Cutdown) from Alan Thoren

  16. SHARP-3 Jobs We Should DO NOW! • Pre-Launch, Launch and Chase Procedures/Checklists need to be made and tested. • SHARP 1 and 2 data analysis – height and speed of Jetstream in October. • Rebuild the Photographic module so that its deeper. No overlap of UV filter onto the Science module. • Build small compartments in the photo and com modules for the 808 keychain cameras. I have an old broken 808 for fitting. Two new ones will arrive after the break. • Amateur Radio Course - underway • Arduino Course – Interested in programing Arduinos? A quick course will start soon. Then you work/play on your own. • We can start cold testing servos almost any time. • 3D Modelling Anyone? Inventory? RC Glider and Lifting body research?

  17. SHARP-4 SHARP-3 could prove the basic techniques needed for SHARP-4 Very High Altitude, Very High Speed Flight 14 October 1947 Supersonic Bell X-1 April 12, 1981 Dyna-Soar was to be the basis of a space bomber, reconnaissance platform, satellite inspection vehicle, and space interceptor. Space Shuttle the payload bay was designed specifically to accommodate the KH-9 HEXAGON spy satellite

  19. This radio control airplane is carrying a scale model of X-33 lifting body and is taking part in NASA research.

  20. “On 28 October 2010, a team of British space enthusiasts launched a paper aeroplane into space from a helium balloon at an altitude of 89,591 feet (27,307.39 m) above the earth’s surface. The plane had a wingspan of three feet, was made of paper straws, covered in paper and it took a year to construct. The balloon was equipped with two cameras and tracker devices, and both plane and balloon were retrieved intact about 100 miles from the launch site. The project cost £8,000 (approx. $12,700).” http://www.gizmag.com/paper-plane-images-space/16913/

  21. GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR HIGHEST ALTITUDE PAPER AIRPLANE

  22. Max. Altitude SHARP-1 and SHARP-2(Stratospheric Glider Recovery Area West of Gladstone) SHARP-1/2 data analysis is needed. What altitude was the jet stream? What speeds were reached in the jet stream? When will SHARP-3 reach the jet stream? When will it leave the jet stream? We should watch for these events during the SHARP-3 chase. Cold tests will need to be run on the servos to determine if they will work for a payload cut-down at -60 C.
