3. MISSION GOAL • Create a profile of ozone concentration with respect to altitude from ground level to 100,000ft. Ozone sensor reading for 2012 UND/UNF HASP payload

4. Science Objectives • Map peak of ozone concentration in upper atmosphere. • Create ozone concentration profile with respect to altitude. • Map out any fluctuations within ozone profile.

5. Technical Objectives • The payload must measure ozone concentration • The onboard program will be able to: • Take temperature readings within close proximity to ozone sensor • Maintain proper operating temperature for all necessary components

6. Science Requirements • The payload must take measurements of ozone concentration every 3 seconds • Team Chinese Bandits must receive time and altitude GPS information for analysis from LaACES management • The payload must measure the peak ozone concentration to within .2ppmv

7. Technical Requirements • The payload must: • Not have a mass greater than 500g • Not exceed 3oz/in2 on any surface • Have two holes 17in apart through which the payload will interface with the balloon • Costs must remain within the allotted $500 budget for Chinese Bandits • In order for the payload to create an ozone profile of the atmosphere, the following requirements must be met: • Payload must take measurements of ozone concentration throughout the flight • Payload must be recovered for post-flight analysis • Altitude must be known to within 65 feet • For the accuracy to be known within 65 feet, the following requirements must be met: • Real-time clock must be synced with GPS time during pre-flight • Real-time clock must be accurate to within 3 seconds of the LaACES LASSEN iQGPS

8. SensorsOzone Sensors • ITO acts as a variable resistor whose resistance changes in the presence of ozone • Applying a constant current allows us to relate the change in output voltage to the resistance and ozone concentration as measured by each sensor • Has a small operating temperature range, therefore a thermal controlling system will be needed

9. SensorsOzone Sensors • Calibration data will be obtained from Dr. Patel • The equation can be used to relate the resistance of each sensor to the ozone concentration • Y = sensor resistance, X = concentration of ozone, m = slope of the calibration curve, b= y-intercept of curve

10. SensorsThermistor • KC003T-ND thermistor

11. Heater • KHLV-101/5 Kapton Heater • 1in. X 1in. • Provides up to 5W of heat with 28V max voltage

12. Sensor InterfacingOzone Sensor

13. Ozone Sensor Interfacing • Zero temp-coefficient circuit for the constant current source

19. Power Supply and Distribution • Two power sources: one 9V, one 12V

20. Heater and Relay Configuration • Will Use a 2N3904 transistor as a relay • BASICStamp will send 3V to base pin to saturate it, allowing the 12V load to flow through the transistor and power heater • 10KΩ resistor placed before the base pin will limit the base current that can flow into the transistor

33. Payload Construction PlanHardware Fabrication and Testing • Full system testing will be conducted after each subsystem is tested and proven • Payload design will be updates after testing • A delay in any subsystem will cause combined testing to be delayed

34. Integration Plan • After each subsystem is tested, individual systems will be connected together to ensure interfaces work properly • Electrical/software interfacing has been tested and proven • Tests on interfacing electrical, mechanical, and thermal will ensure proper operation temperature can be maintained • Testing will be done on all systems in a simulated flight to complete payload integration

35. Flight Software Implementation and Verification • Flight software was tested with electrical prototypes to ensure it was functioning correctly • Pre-Flight will be loaded the day before flight to clear EEPROM and sync GPS time to RTC • A computer located on site will be used to run programs and retrieve data

36. Flight Certification Testing • Tests will be conducted to ensure payload can survive flight • Temperatures of -70°C to 30°C • Pressure of .163mBar to 1000mBar • Impact upon landing • A shock test and a thermal/vacuum test will be conducted

37. System Testing Procedure • Payload needs to survive 8.94 m/s • H = 4.08m or 13.38 ft. • Procedure checklist • Power up payload • Run preflight software • Run flight software • Drop from13.4 feet onto the floor • Run post-flight software • Verify that all onboard electronics are operating properly

38. Vacuum Test Procedures • Power up payload • Run preflight software • Run flight software • Place payload in Vacuum Testing Chamber • Make sure that vacuum chamber is sealed and pressure gauge is turned on • Simulate flight environment in vacuum testing chamber. • This include having a temperature range -70 to 30C • This include pressure of .163 mBar- 1000 mBar • Run post-flight software • Analyze and verify data

39. System Testing Results ITO removed from box • Preliminary tests done to test if sensors will work • Spark gap created in box to create ozone • ITO warmed to operating temperature and placed in box until 480 seconds ITO placed in box • After speaking with Dr. Patel, long reaction times may be due to not enough ozone to fully react, or not enough airflow across the sensor

40. Pre-Launch Requirements and Operations:Calibrations • Two Instruments that require calibration • Thermistor • Calibrate for low temperature of 20°C • Calibrate for high temperature range of 35°C • ITO Sensor • Do not have necessary equipment to calibrate • Will be provided by Dr. Patel of the University of North Florida

41. Pre-Launch Requirements and Operations:Calibration Procedures • Thermistor • Fill glass with cold water in a heat metal container • Place thermometer and thermistor • Record the sensor reading using the voltmeter and flight software for temperature from 20°C to 35°C • ITO • Will be provided by Dr. Patel ITO Circuit Thermistor Circuit

42. Pre-Launch Checklist

43. Flight Requirements, Operations and Recovery • Batteries will provide the BalloonSat and sensors with enough power for the duration of the flight • EEProm will have enough memory to take measurements for the duration of the flight • Must find and recover EEProm during recovery; Extra BallonSats will be brought in order to retrieve the data from the EEProm

44. Data Acquisition and Analysis Plan: Ground Software • The following procedure will be used to complete Ground Software and export flight data.

45. Data Acquisition and Analysis Plan:Data Analysis Plan • ADC values will be converted into ozone measurements in PPM(Parts Per Million) • Thermistor values will be converted to degrees in Celsius • Sync GPS value with time to get altitude data

46. Data Acquisition and Analysis Plan:Data Analysis Plan (continued) • The following graphs will be made from flight data to help with the analysis process • Ozone vs. altitude • Ozone vs. time • Temperature vs. time • Ozone vs. temperature • Expected uncertainties for thermistor will be 1 percent while the uncertainties for the ozone sensor will be 0.2ppm
