Mission Overview• Objectives:
– Measure gamma radiation during ascent• Expecting to discover ionizing radiation increases as a
function of altitude
– Measure air quality during ascent• Expecting air to have fewer dust particles
– Record HD video • Spike interest of younger students in math, science, and
engineering
• Why?– Public outreach– Verify that atmosphere is necessary for radiation
dampening
Design Overview
Results and Analysis
Arduino One (environmental data) functioned perfectly
Arduino Two (experimental data) had complete failure
GoPro camera functioned perfectly
Heater subsystem functioned perfectly
Canon camera functioned perfectly

Accelerometer
Failure Analysis
ARDUINO TWO
Needed more power
Moved from one 9V to three 9V
Connected leads incorrectly
Arduino became corrupted
Conclusions Temperature:
0-10km: Decreases 10km to 20km: Constant20km to 30 km: Increase
Pressure:Ascent: DecreasesDescent: Increases
AccelerationSome G-Forces as flight initially stabilizesConstant during main ascentLarge G-Forces after burst
Geiger Counter & Dust Sensor Inconclusive due to corrupted Arduino
GO Pro video was helpful and interesting in outreach
Ready to Fly Again
No structural modification/replacement
Two new Arduino Unos and SD cards
New Geiger Counter and Dust Sensor
All environmental sensors still functional
New batteries
Lessons LearnedOverall, Gateway to Space was an incredible
learning experience despite our failures.
Small details are vital. Our mission failed because of a simple misconnection.
Learned time management the hard way. If we could do things over, our schedule would be revamped.
We also would have contacted faculty who aided us earlier in the semester.
