Panoramic Rays Final Presentation Matt Capron, Kaia Jerde, Brett Traub, Harrison McLean, Anirudh Sarsam, Brian Gonzales 4 Dec 07

Mission Overview Objectives Measure solar intensity with varying altitude using solar cell output. Measure internal and external temperature of satellite Take a two simultaneous pictures to splice together a panoramic picture.

RFP and Final Design Complied with Included solar cells; logged with HOBO Still attempted to take Panoramic Picture

RFP and Final Design (cont.) RFP Changes Switched to 2 HP cameras New Structure design instead of original cube Greater mass; still under 800g Less budget required Changed solar cell circuit Series & resistors added

Mass/Budget Summary Mass Budget Final Budget: $46.00 Final Mass: 799 g

Conclusions Unfortunately The good No panoramic pictures taken on flight No accurate and useable data recorded The good Learned what went wrong, and when. Brushed up on troubleshooting & analyzing skills Still very confident in being able to produce panoramic images.

Lessons Learned Learned that we needed to check cameras more thoroughly. Make sure camera settings were exactly the same Make sure camera flashes were off. Do more isolated tests for each subsystem Do more HOBO tests in regards to voltage & temperature recording

Ready for Flight Ready to fly again Reattached solar panels to outside of structure Replaced Batteries Changed camera settings -> no standby, identical settings Replace HOBO (if we were to fly again) New temperature sensor
