TEAM HAeHOHIGH ALTITUDE HIGH OPENING

High Altitude Balloon Instrument Survival Package

Joseph Burns, Tom Fox, Austin Isitor, Nick Schuyler

Introduction Replacement for Temperature Satellite

project in 2005 Grants from Ohio Space Grant

Consortium and National Science Foundation

Idea is to build “package” that will carry electrical equipment to 100,000 ft, drop, freefall for 35-40,000 ft, then deploy parachute

Past problems include unsuccessful parachute deployment

Introduction Because of the altitude involved, we are at

the mercy of the elements at high altitude Flight prediction software is extremely

important to a successful launch Ultimate goal of the team is to find a design

that will significantly increase the likelihood of a successful launch and recovery New parachute release mechanism New ballute design Eliminate parachute altogether?
