Fall 2013 Goals

• Test capability and efficiency of solar panels; use as sole power source for next semester’s payload

- how much power can be obtained- practicality of solar panels for near-space use- factors that help or hinder solar panel’s effectiveness

• Better understanding of electronics, i.e. arduino, basic circuits, and programming

• Videos for outreach events

Structure

• Two carbon fiber cylinders• Smaller cylinder nested inside large cylinder• 25.5 cm tall• Small cylinder: 14.7 cm diameter• Large cylinder: 19.7 cm diameter

• Two-part liquid foam• When mixed, solidifies into foam and expands• 2 lbs per cubic foot

• Polystyrene foam• House internal components

• Lexan Polycarbonate• Used to cap the top and bottom of payload• Keyswitches
