  1. Fall 2011 Rev A 11-01-11 TBA (Team #5)Launch Readiness Review Quinn Kostelecky, Vincent Staverosky, Gloria Chen, Roshan Misra, Jacqueline Godina, Raymond Auyeung

  2. Mission Overview • Measure the Earth’s magnetic field intensity • Measure the voltage produced • Determine the orientation of pictures

  3. Mission Overview • Purpose of Mission: • Prove or disprove Tesla’s Free Energy Theory • Discover intensity of Earth’s magnetic field • Test the viability of a magnetometer as an attitude determination system

  4. Design Overview • Low Current Sensor and Magnetometer • Arduino UNO and MicroSD Shield • Camera, Hobo, Heater, Batteries

  5. Experiment Testing-Current/Solenoid System Solenoid/Current Sensor Test Readings Current Sensor Calibration Current Sensor Calibration

  6. Experiment Testing-Magnetometer

  7. Experiment Testing-Camera/Magnetometer • Sync Magnetometer readings with camera pictures • First picture taken on the eighth reading • Picture taken every two readings after eighth

  8. Structure Testing Drop Test Staircase Test Whip Test After Drop and Staircase Test

  9. Cooler Testing • Heater malfunctioned during cooler test • Need to turn on heater in advance of cooler test to maintain temperature • Another cooler test to be run today

  10. HOBO Testing HOBO placed in freezer Internal Temperature Relative Humidity HOBO HOBO placed outside spout of hot kettle HOBO taken out of freezer

  11. Expected Results • Low current generated by solenoid during flight • Magnetic field intensity decreases as altitude increases • Accurately predict orientation of satellite

  12. Biggest Worries • Keeping satellite at proper operating temperatures • Arduino doesn’t run for flight duration

  13. Questions?
