  2. Mission Overview • Objective: To measure the intensity of sunlight as the BalloonSat increases in altitude • Expectations: • Discover the exact increase in light between ground level and 30 km above sea level • Discover if the efficiency of photodiodes and solar panels are comparable • Hypotheses: • As altitude increases, the intensity of the light will increase • Photodiodes and solar panels are comparable with respect to surface area • Why? • We are doing this mission to determine why solar panel technology is so prevalent in today’s space industry.

  3. Requirements

  4. Requirements (cont.)

  5. Design • How: • Solar Cells / Photodiodes collect sunlight • HOBO records voltage buildup in each solar cell and in all photodiodes every 15 seconds throughout the flight • Parts (Ordered / Donated / Received) • Foam Core • Insulation • A570IS Canon Digital Camera • 2 four-channel HOBO data loggers • 6 photodiodes (EL-PD204-6C/L3) • 2 solar cells • 3 voltage cables • Small gauge insulated wire • External Temperature Sensor • Desiccant packets • Three 9 volt batteries • Two 1.5 volt batteries • Two 3 volt lithium batteries • Heater Assembly • Center Tube • 2 Washers • 2 Paper Clips

  6. Monetary Budget

  7. Mass Budget

  8. Schedule

  9. Test Plan

  10. Expected Results • We expect the photodiodes to produce comparable voltage to solar cells with respect to surface area. • As the altitude of the satellite increases we expect a linear increase in light intensity with respect to the density of the air at that altitude.

  11. Biggest Worries • Honestly, we are not worried
