Composition of the Atmosphere  A mixture of chemical elements and compounds: –Nitrogen (N 2 ) ~ 78% –Oxygen (O 2 ) ~ 21% –Other gases ~ 1%

Heat Transfer Earth’s atmosphere moves (transfers) heat around in three ways: 1. Radiation (infrared, UV, etc…) The ground or the air can absorb infrared.

THE EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE: Atmospheric Layers SOL 6.6.

Layers of the Atmosphere

 Gasses make up the air around us  Primary gasses are Nitrogen and Oxygen  Small amounts of many other gasses are present.

 Earth’s atmosphere is divided into several different atmospheric layers extending from the Earth’s surface outward: › Troposphere › Stratosphere › Mesosphere.

Layers of the Atmosphere

The Atmosphere The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Layers of Earth’s atmosphere. How was the atmosphere formed? Atmosphere has changed (evolved) over time. Gases are held near the surface by gravity. Earth’s.

Atmosphere. What makes up our atmosphere?  Nitrogen  Oxygen  Argon.

Layers of the Atmosphere 1.  The atmosphere is divided into layers according to major changes in its temperature.  Gravity holds the layers of the atmosphere.

Troposphere About 75-80% of the atmosphere’s mass Rises to about 20km or about 7.5 miles Air is warmest at the bottom and gets colder as you move.

Starting Student Space Hardware Programs - V A How-To Workshop Starting Student Space Hardware Programs - V Environments @ 30 km July 12-15, 2006 Background image taken at 100,000 feet by a participant from 2004 Workshop

Environments at 30 km: • How high do commercial jet fly? • How high is the ozone layer? • What are the layers of the atmosphere? ~10 km ~20 to 50 km

Environments at 30 km: • Troposphere • Stratosphere • Mesosphere • Thermosphere

Environments at 30 km: Capt. Joe W. Kittinger jumps from a balloon at 102,800 feet Forgot to mention, he exceeded the speed of sound with his body

Environments at 30 km: Temperature varies in all directions as you climb through the different layers of the atmosphere Why? Solar Radiation (UV, IR) - Ozone Absorbs - Surface Heats - Convection

Environments at 30 km: - Temperature can dip to -80°C - Biggest killer of past missions - Easy, repeatable science Burst (30 km) Landing Launch Coldest Tropopause

Environments at 30 km: - You need to do something to keep your systems warm - Colorado history has shown payloads (batteries) begin to fail below -5°C - Hand warmers don’t work well without air (O2) - You will use an active heater

Environments at 30 km: • BalloonSats can do real science at 100,000 feet • Discoveries can be made • Atmospheric studies can be done • Engineering challenges are extreme • Enough unknowns to catch the mind of students
