Mission Goal To measure the speed of sound in Earth’s atmosphere in order to establish a relationship between speed of sound and altitude up to an altitude of 30,480 meters and to consider the effects of atmospheric properties on the speed of sound.

Science Objectives Determine the profile of the speed of sound with altitude. Determine the general profile of temperature with altitude. Determine the relationship between temperature and speed of sound. Determine the effects of humidity on the speed of sound.

Technical Objectives Obtain accurate and precise measurements for speed of sound. Obtain accurate and precise measurements for temperature, pressure, and humidity. Operate in expected atmospheric conditions. Obtain data post-flight and be able to analyze the data retrieved. Complete all required flight documents such as the PDR, CDR, and FRR.

Science Background

Earth’s Atmosphere Troposphere Surface to ≈ 12 km Temperature decreases Stratosphere ≈ 20 to 50 km Temperature increases Mesosphere Thermosphere Exosphere

Expected Outcomes Speed of sound is primarily dependent on temperature. Speed of sound will decrease until the balloon reaches the tropopause. Speed of sound remain constant in the tropopause. Speed of sound will increase in the stratosphere. Humidity is expected to play a minor role in determining the speed of sound when compared to temperature changes.

Technical Background

Temperature Sensor Required Range: -70 ˚C to 38 ˚C BalloonSat’s AD780 (U5) -55 ˚C to 120 ˚C Resistive Temperature Detector (RTD) -200 ˚C to 650 ˚C Thermocouples -270 ˚C to 2000 ˚C Thermistor -80 ˚C to 120 ˚C

Pressure and RH Sensors Required Range: 10 hPa to 1020 hPa ICS1210 Model Sensor interfacing exercise Has already been tested Piezoresistive-type sensor Required Range: 0 %RH to 100%RH Resistive RH Sensor -40 °C to 100 °C 0 %RH to 100 %RH Capacitive RH Sensor -80 °C to 150 °C 0 %RH to 100 %RH

Speed of Sound Apparatus 20 to 30 measurements on the ascent will be necessary to reproduce profile If 25 measurements are taken during ascent: 4 min between each measurement Based on a 305 meters/min ascent rate and a 100 min ascent time Payload will still continue to take measurements during descent

Mission Requirements Team BalloonWorks and the payload shall comply with all LaACES requirements. The payload shall measure the speed of sound in ambient atmospheric conditions in order to construct a profile of the speed of sound versus altitude. The payload shall measure temperature, pressure and humidity to verify the data gathered on the speed of sound. Team BalloonWorks shall retrieve and analyze data post flight.

Payload Design

Principle of Operation The main objective of the payload will be to measure the speed of sound during the flight. In order to obtain an accurate speed of sound profile with respect to altitude, temperature, pressure, and relative humidity sensors will operate in the same environment as the speed of sound apparatus.
