- There are two additional modifications we need to do your team’s AVR board
1. Heater Circuit Integration
2. Camera Circuit Integration
Both of these modifications will allow the AVR board to activate the heater and camera

• 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:
10
• 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:
12
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:
13
- Temperature can dip to -80°C
- Biggest killer of past missions
- Easy, repeatable science
Environments at 30 km:
Burst (30 km)
TropopauseColdest
Launch
Landing

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
15
• 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
Environments at 30 km:

Camera Integration
Camera Integration
41
Hands-on: Camera Integration
Your camera has been modified so that it can be activated by shorting two wires together
We will change the camera’s firmware later to allow it to autonomously take pictures once activated
42
Hands-on: Camera Integration
Your camera has a two wires coming out of the camera
The connector will allow you to easily integrate the camera unlike the heater which will be a pain
43
Hands-on: Camera Integration
Those two wires are connected to a connector which is connected to a MOSFET (similar to the heater MOSFET)
Connected to the MOSFET are two wires, BLUE and BLACK
44
Hands-on: Camera Integration
Solder the BLUE wire to PORT D, Pin 5
45
Hands-on: Camera Integration
Solder the BLACK wire to GRD
46
- Take your camera out of the box
Hands-on: Camera Integration
47
- Insert the batteries
Hands-on: Camera Integration
48
- Disconnect the connector between the camera and the MOSFET and turn on camera by shorting the two pins together
Hands-on: Camera Integration
49
- Set the date and time
- Power off the camera by shorting the two wires together again

- Reconnect the camera to the MOSFET
- Be sure that RED goes to RED and BLACK to BLACK
