Mission Overview
MinnSpec is a modular team with three separate payloads each with unique but related goals
Each team has a dedicated part of the payload
These teams will be overviewed in the following slides

MinnLaseMinnLase is responsible for
creating the laser spectroscopy chamber and power supply to provide power to each payload
• MinnLase used a near-infrared laser to detect the relative amount of water (humidity) found in Earth’s atmosphere with respect to altitude
• Shown on left is a picture of the power supply, which provides over-voltage and over-current protection to each payload through dedicated DB9 power supply connections

AugSpec The mission of AugSpec was to design
and build a payload that takes ambient light spectroscopy based measurements. We wanted to take these data points at certain positions
These desired points are when the rocket’s window is perpendicular to the horizon; facing the Sun or the Earth.
The purpose of this is to compare and contrast the absorption of light through out the flight. This data can be used to determine Earth’s atmospheric makeup. An IMU (inertial measurement unit) was used to trigger the spectrometer and characterize the flight

MinnRock II
MinnRock I was our 2009 payload created as a 1/3 can experiment based directly off the activities covered in the RockOn! 2008 workshop
MinnRock II involves flight characterization and structural integrity supervision of the current payload
Uses AVR board from our “friends” from Colorado; modified to fit our needs

Lesons Learned and Advice
A dedicated team is the most important challenge (seniors and summer jobs…)
Everything takes longer than planned and won’t work the first time
Keep it simple the first time around- then build up from there
These payloads are created from small steps and good documentation- every successful test is a victory
