The SPARTA mission, conducted by Norfolk State University, aims to measure pressure and relative humidity in the troposphere and lower stratosphere as functions of temperature. Our objectives include determining the relationships between humidity, temperature, and pressure at different altitudes, and comparing our findings with data from NOAA. The payload is engineered to withstand extreme conditions of the upper atmosphere and ensure safe data recovery during ascent and landing. We strive to enhance our understanding of atmospheric behaviors through meticulous data analysis.

Mission Goal measure pressure and relative humidity within the troposphere and lower stratosphere as a function of temperature, and to characterize and attain a better understanding of our atmosphere by reproducing data obtained from previous launches and NOAA’s experiments.
Science Objectives • Determine relationship between relative humidity, temperature and pressure within the troposphere, tropopause and stratosphere as a function of altitude • Compare data obtained with NOAA
Technical Objectives • Payload shall be constructed to survive extreme conditions of the upper atmosphere. • Payload should recover measurements of relative humidity, temperature, and pressure within the atmosphere. • To recover data, payload should be able to withstand ascent and landing.
Management: Milestones • Preliminary Design Review • Critical Design Review • Flight Readiness Review • Balloon Launch • Science Presentation
