Junior Space Engineers

• Designing
• Payloads for a
• High Altitude Balloon Launch

21
Junior Space EngineersWho are we?

• Junior Space Engineers are middle and high school
  students from Districts 60 and 70
• Junior Space Engineers are interested in
  scientific discovery and are looking for ways to
  participate in this process
• Junior Space Engineers are working in teams as a
  team to achieve the common goal
• Junior space engineering teams are guided by
  dedicated teachers supported by university
  students acting as mentors to the teams
• Junior Space Engineers depend on the support and
  encouragement of their parents and families.

22
Junior Space EngineersWhat do we want to do?

• Design a scientific experiment to be carried out
  in near space
• Launch a high-altitude balloon to fly our
  experiments
• Measure temperature, pressure, humidity,
  radiation during the flight
• Take pictures of the earth and sky from a never
  before experienced point of view
• Analyze the data from our experiment and
  understand what it is telling us
• Have lots of fun doing this project!

23
Junior Space EngineersProject Criteria

• Each payload has a limit of weight, size, and
  cost.
• Weight must not exceed 450 grams (approx. 1
  pound).
• Size of the container must not exceed 12 inches
  of combined length and any single dimension must
  not exceed 6 inches. Example of size for a
  payload
• 2 x 4 x 6, for a total of 12 inches.
• Each selected proposal will be funded by CSGC -
  Pueblo to a maximum of 200.00.

24
Junior Space EngineersProject Requirements

1. Each Team will designate a Team Leader, selected
   to be the person in charge of scheduling
   meetings, making phone calls to CSU-Pueblo
   mentors, and keeping the project on a timetable.
2. A record of all activities will be kept to be
   included in the final report given to CSGC at
   CSU-Pueblo. This will be a diary for each team
   chronicling design ideas and meetings and is to
   include pictures showing project activities and
   progress.
3. A Technical Paper will be written depicting the
   entire project.
4. A Poster Presentation will be prepared for
   display along with the payload and the technical
   paper.

Launch Day
On a clear morning students from all over
Colorado assembled to launch their balloons.

Flight Path of EOSS 70
The EOSS group provided continuously updated
position data for the satellite that we matched
with the time stamp on our pictures.
