Mission Overview • Develop a BalloonSat that will take UV data and correlate it with NCAR data. • Used to see changes in UV radiation from last UV cycle • Prove that there has been an increase in solar activity causing an increase in UVA and UVB radiation hitting Earth. • Hypothesize that an increase in solar activity results in an increase in UVA and UVB radiation.

Biggest Worries • UVA sensors will not be able to function outside the box • Sensors will not function properly • Trouble communicating with NCAR contact • Programming will work properly
Expected Results • Our Satellite will be able to fly again after impact • Our sensors will work properly • All systems will communicate and properly connect to each other. • Data will show UV radiation has increased
