2. Our objective is to study the amounts of UV radiation in the upper stratosphere.
We believe that we will find an increased amount of UV radiation as compared to previous years’ data.
We are doing this because we think that it would be fascinating to see the difference in UV radiation with the solar flare that has occured
Mission Overview

3. We will complete our mission by using a light to frequency converter in conjunction with an Arduino microcontroller that will allow the payload to take data points on the amount of UVA radiation present in the atmosphere.
