  1. Up, Up, and Away!Critical design review Ty Bailey, Soo Park, Cameron Coupe, Trevor Arrasmith, Carolyn Mason, Sam Frakes, Brandon Harris, Peter VanderKley

  2. Mission Overview • The objective of team Up Up and Away is to prove the possibility and efficacy of a balloon mounted mechanism for cloud seeding • Cloud seeding has never been attempted from a balloon mounted device • Could prove the feasibility and possible cost effectiveness • Given the ability to use enough of the correct substance for cloud seeding, a balloon mounted mechanism will be feasible and economic • Cloud seeding can lift droughts and increase precipitation. A cheaper alternative to traditional methods can reveal further opportunities

  3. Requirements Flow-Down Chart • Mission Requirements Level 0

  5. DESIGN

  6. Switch Electrical Diagram Accelerometer Go Pro SD Memory 3 volts Pressure Camera SD Memory Arduino 3 volts Thermometer Thermometer (outside) LED (w/ resistor) Humidity Switch Anemometer Switch 3 volts Servo 1 Arduino (3) 9 volts 3 volts Servo 2 LED (w/ resistor) Heater LED (w/ resistor)

  7. Structures Testing • Prototype Powder Release (10/18) • Powder Release Complete Simulation (10/29) • Drop Test (11/4) • Whip Test (11/4) • Stair Test (11/4)

  8. Electronics Testing • Accelerometer (10/16) • Heater (10/18) • Camera(s) (10/20) • Humidity Sensor (10/20) • Temperature Sensors (10/24) • Anemometer (10/24)

  9. Systems Test • Heater Test (10/29) • Cooler Test (10/29) • Complete Systems Test (11/ 8) • Demo Mission Test (11/13)

  10. Expected Results • We Expect To: • Record accurate information from all sensors • Confirm the proper functioning of mechanisms (namely the servos) • Observe the powder as it is released • We Hope To: • Observe (with GoPro and from ground) a red cloud forming after powder is released • This observation would confirm both function and effectiveness of our release system

  11. Ordered Parts • 2 Funnels (Acquired) • 2 servos (Ordered) • Wind Sensor (Acquired) • NaCl (Not Yet Purchased) • Reflective Glitter (Not Yet Purchased)

  12. Money Budgets Dry Ice, 9v Batteries, Glue, NaCl, and Reflective Glitter will be purchased by team locally instead of ordered.

  13. Mass Budget

  14. Team Organization Project manager Cameron Coupe Vice: Peter Vanderkley Budgeter Ty Foreman Carolyn Videographer Trevor Structures Sam, Brandon, Peter Electrical Carolyn, Soo, Cameron Programing Ty, Soo Peter Science and Documentation, Brandon, Trevor

  15. Concerns and Worries Failure of the power All the powder releasing at once Powder jamming the mechanism Failure of the Mechanism Failure to record data Failure to retrieve data How to observe our results? How to quantify our results?
