7. SHOT II Design – Electrical Power: • Battery Specifications: • 9V Cells • 18V Bus voltage • 4480 mAh capacity • Design: • 4 sets of 2 cells in series connected in parallel • Ground terminals connect to ground plane • Power terminals are spliced together to send to switch

8. SHOT II Design – Thermal Control: • Foam insulation board provides passive thermal protection against the thermal environment at high altitude. • Heaters provide active means to providing heat to specific components. • Varying current through the thermistor provides microcontroller the temperature at the thermistor location. • At the specified “on” temperature (currently set to 15°C), microcontroller sends current to the LED and to the MOSFET, in turn signaling the heater to turn on. • Current will stop flowing to the MOSFET and the LED when temperature reaches the specified “off” value (20°C).
