1. High Altitude Balloon Michael Adams Alex Fletcher Jon Welch

2. Achieve 100,000 feet Freefall to 60,000 feet Deploy Parachute Arrested Fall Collect data along the way

4.  “High Altitude Balloon”- Lighter than air latex vessel, commonly used in meteorology  Primary Parachute – used to increase likelihood of successful recovery of control box  Control Box – houses additional electronics  Re-entry vehicle – the focus of our project

5. Six Pound Limit Restricted Airspace (flight path) Working in conjunction with EE team

6. Launch Successfully achieve necessary altitude Complicated components working in unison

7. Research Collect meaningful data Accelerometer

8. Retrieve constant communication constant communication parachute deployment parachute deployment Electric component success Electric component success

9.  Weight  Environment  Shape  Material
