  3. Outline • Previous Balloon Experiments • Goals for Project • Purpose • Concerns and Solutions • Deliverables/Schedule • Questions

  4. Previous Balloon Projects • 2005-2006 • Beginning of HAB • 2006-2007 • Completed development of GPS tracking system • Implemented use of video system • 2007-2008 • Attempted deploying truss system using shape memory polymer (SMP) composite material for the hinges

  5. Previous Balloon Projects cont. • 2008-2009 • Improved power system • Improved video system • 2009-2010 • Completed Russ Antenna

  6. Goals for the Project • Goal 1: • GPS Repeater System • Goal 2: • Tracking Controller System

  7. Purpose • GPS Repeater System • Imposing physical structure • Will allow for indoor testing of HIBAL systems Source: Engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/underground-indoor-gps-repeater-maintains-your-position/

  8. Purpose cont • Tracking Controller System • Gathers GPS data from payload and chase vehicle • Calculates azimuth and elevation angles between two • Autonomously aims tracking devices at payload • Calculates projected flight path • Calculate estimated Landing Zones

  9. Concerns and Solutions • GPS Repeater System • Complying with FCC regulations • Complying with Building Codes • Tracking Controller System • Complying with FCC/FAA regulations?? • Complying with Building Codes • Environmental issues

  10. Deliverables • GPS Repeater • Tracking Controller System • Project portfolio • Any other required documentation

  11. Schedule • Weeks 1-2: Intro to class, form team, choose project. • Weeks 2-4: Research on GPS repeaters and Tracking Controller Systems • Weeks 4-6: Begin compiling design specs, gather parts list. • Week 7: Design Review Oral presentation • Weeks 8-10: Complete design and begin implementation. • Final week- Design Project Midpoint Progress Conference • HAM test- Jan. 26 @ 7 PM P&R Communications Feb. 5 @ 9 AM 148/150 Russ
