  1. Hi-Ball Scientific PayloadArizona Nasa Space Grant ConsortiumApril 18, 2009Arizona State Univerity Team: Jessica Avitia Mary Begay Daniella Eriksson Bryce Fox Mentors: Jack Crabtree Dr. Ronald Madler ASGC Symposium ASGC Symposium

  2. Presentation Summary • Purpose • Components • First Flight / Testing • Future Goals ASGC Symposium

  3. Purpose • To provide tracking support for the Embry-Riddle ballooning community. • The main purpose of the Hi-Ball payload is to track longitude, latitude, altitude and speed of the scientific balloon. • The collection of this data is a way to predict future missions by providing a database of information. ASGC Symposium

  4. Payload Components Alinco Transceiver Radio Trimble GPS 46240-25 Battery Pack Tiny Trak4 ASGC Symposium

  5. Components • Tiny Trak4 (Modem) • Alinco UHF FM Transceiver S40 • Transmits and receives at 445.925 MHz • Trimble GPS -46240-25 • Battery Pack • Four AA batteries ASGC Symposium

  6. Flight / Testing • First launch was on November 27, 2008 in Gila Bend, AZ recovered South of Phoenix • GPS Failed during flight • Tested GPS in cold chamber • GPS stands temperature below 63 degrees Celsius • Conclusion • Ports were switch on GPS board during connection ASGC Symposium

  7. Future Goals • Add different components to the payload • Accelerometers • Camera • Physics and/or other scientific experiments • Test new structures for thermal capacities • Thickness • Materials • Insulation ASGC Symposium
