  1. Space Cadets Ali Javed Ravneet Singh Brock Couvillion Dean Slama Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, and Imaging Characteristics at Various Altitudes 1/35

  2. MISSION GOALS The goal is to study the relationships between the temperature, pressure, humidity, and altitude ranging from 0 to 100,000 ft in an effort to identify trends at various layers of the atmosphere using a balloon payload launched from Palestine, TX.  2/35

  3. OBJECTIVES Fly a balloon payload to an altitude of 100,000 ft to measure, record and verify temperature, pressure, and humidity trends. Record video of the flight and verify the trends at various atmospheric layers. 3/35

  4. Science Objectives Verify the decrease of temperature in tropopause Verify the increase of temperature in stratosphere Verify the decrease of pressure with altitude Verify the decrease in humidity with altitude. Identify the motion of flight. 4/35
