O 2 n Cloud Nine Conceptual Design Review Lea Harris, Ben Woeste, Ian Barry, Brodie Schulze, Caitlyn Cooke, Megan O’Sullivan, Sebastian-Johannes Lorenz 9/16/10 Fall 2010 Rev A

 Mission Overview  Our objective is to track Oxygen levels as a function of altitude, and take stereoscopic images from a high altitude platform.  We will have two data collection systems, one qualitative, one quantitative.  Stereoscopic camera system offer qualitative data about cloud presence and structure of clouds  O 2 Sensor will provide the Quantitative information about the composition of the atmosphere  By doing this we expect to find a trend between the levels of oxygen, and the formation and type of clouds.  We are doing this to further our understanding of the composition of the atmosphere and how it relates to the formation of clouds.

Design:  The unique feature about our satellite is the stereoscopic imaging system  Will get two snap of the same scene from different viewpoints.  Images can be rendered into an animated gif to give an idea of depth.  Using a stereoscopic viewer, the pictures can also be seen in 3D
