  2. Mission Overview BalloonSat Helios measures the efficiency of wireless energy transmission using a laser and solar panels.

  3. Design Overview Two Foam Core Structures Top Circuit: Nine solar panels 3.3 volt Li-ion 50 mW red laser Bottom Circuit: One solar panel Attopilot current and voltage sensor Arduino Uno and SD shield.

  4. Cold Test 1 2 3

  5. Sun-Laser Comparison Test 2 3 1

  6. HOBO Test • 1 2 • 4 • 3

  7. Camera Test Camera worked, took over 600 pictures in two hours.

  8. Whip and Drag Tests Satellite dragged as a more accurate test of the satellite’s predicted landing behavior. Whipped at about a two foot length to simulate flight string motion.

  9. Drop Test Satellite dropped from second story to attain a speed of about 20 m/s.

  10. Expected Results • Cold test: More voltage as fog cleared • More laser light hitting panel • Expect similar results on flight • Less atmosphere means better transmission.

  11. Biggest Worries • Resolving amperage issue • Final assembly

  12. Requirements
