1. Team BIOHAZARD Presents: Project CRUENTO

2. CRUENTO: Latin – to make bloody; stain with blood

3. Team Members Team Leader: Chris Pearson, Electrical Engineering Alicia Harris, Aerospace Engineering Andrew Brewer, Aerospace Engineering Greg Juarez, Aerospace Engineering Curtis Miller, Aerospace Engineering Shaun Valdez, Aerospace Engineering

4. Overview & Mission Statement Mission Statement: To ascertain how blood reacts to a near space environment. To Test: What are the conditions under which blood boils in a near space environment. What if there was an accidental tear or rupture in a pressure suit around 85,000ft.? What are the differences between slow and abrupt releases of pressure on blood at that altitude?
