Project HUSP:Humidity/UV-c Sensor Payload Team Parro Presentation of Flight Results CSBF, Palestine, TX Team Parro: Project HUSP
Flight Positions Josh Hignight – Project manager and software development Jason Rollins – Responsible for electrical work including power consumption, sensor interfacing, electrical design, and balloon sat testing Matt VanKerhkove – Thermal design and acquisition of parts for thermal needs, as well as thermal testing Tim Butler – In charge of things dealing with constrution Team Parro: Project HUSP
Hypothesis There is an expected rise in humidity at the ozone layer, believed to be caused by an increase in UV-c. Team Parro: Project HUSP
Payload • Humidity sensor • Temperature sensor Team Parro: Project HUSP
Science • Ozone absorbs UV between 200nm and 310nm • This breaks up the ozone from O3 → O2 + O • The O then forms with water to form two hydroxyl molecules O + H2O → 2HO • Each of these OH’s then form with methane, and other pollutants to form water. Team Parro: Project HUSP
Problems • UV-c leads broke before reaching a sufficient altitude • HOBO powered up at 7:30 AM and then powered downed at 7:30:05 AM Team Parro: Project HUSP
