Flight Manifest

The flight team consists of a total of six fliers divided between two flight teams. The

team members consist of students Ryan Darnell, Aaron Cranmore, Nolan Rap, Cody

Muchmore, and Dahmahnic Mace-Nocera and teacher Paul Fechtmeister. All team

members are first time flyers aboard the reduced gravity aircraft. There will be a ground

crew consisting of Karen Wagner, Georgia Moran and Thomas Bilodeau. The flight date

is April 5 & 6, 2011.

2.0 Experimental Background

The experiment is being flown as part of the High School Students United with NASA to

Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. It was designed, fabricated, and documented by

the students at East High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The reason for doing the

project is to determine the differences of rates of diffusion of a volatile organic

compound (VOC) in microgravity conditions compared to 1G. The experiment will test

the rate of diffusion of a volatile organic compound and the direction of diffusion under

microgravity conditions. The students will record the measured voltage from Figaro

TGS2602 general air contaminant sensors that are placed within a Lexan box and are

exposed at various distances and directions to a volatile organic compound. The rationale

for this experiment is to determine the nature of diffusion of volatile organic compounds

in microgravity in order to understand how scents will disperse on the ISS.

3.0 Experiment Description

3.1 Diffusion of Volatile Organic Compounds in Microgravity Background

The experiment was based on the idea that liquids diffuse differently in microgravity and

therefore, so will gases. The Rose Experiment that flew on shuttle in 1998 on STS-95

found that a rose sent to space produced a different scent than it did on earth according to

observers. The results of the Rose Experiment indicated that in low gravity the rose

actually produced fewer volatiles than it did at 1G.

3.2 Design

The experiment is contained inside a box constructed from Lexan, which will be placed

inside a NASA Reduced Gravity Office Glove Box to provide the double containment

and eliminate the need for a stress analysis. The experiment relies on Figaro volatile

organic sensors attached to a sensor board that reads changes in voltage across the

sensors when volatile organic compounds are sensed. A base for the Lexan box that

contains the sensors is constructed so that the box can be positioned horizontally,

vertically and at a 45 degree angle. There will be a fan at the top of the box to eliminate

the scent after each parabola. Pellets of charcoal will be used to help absorb the VOC

from the glove box. A Vernier LabQuest will be connected to the sensors and velcroed

inside the glove box to record data from each sensor in the box. The VOC will be

contained in sponge, contained in a sealed cavity away from the sensors at the bottom of

the box.

Figure 3.2.2 shows an experimental schematic.

Figure 3.2.2 VOC Box Schematic turned upside down

3.3 Hypothesis/Purpose

The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the rate of diffusion of a VOC varies

when measured in a gravity field as opposed to a zero gravity or microgravity

environment. Different orientations will be studied in order to better discern the

subtleties of diffusion rates. We think that in a reduced gravity environment, the VOC

will diffuse faster than in the effects of Earth gravity, because the VOC has mass and

may be visibly measurable with our sensors

3.4 Experiment Goals

Our experiment during reduced gravity periods will test the rate of diffusion of the VOC

for 3 different distances from the VOC and in 3 different orientations (horizontal,

vertical, and diagonal).

We will observe the readings of the voltage meter during reduced gravity conditions to

get accurate timings of when the sensors detect the VOC.

11.0 Hazard Analysis Report

The hazards associated with the experimental design are that the VOC (100% Cedarwood

oil) vapors can leak out into the plane’s cabin causing a scent that spreads throughout the

aircraft. The VOC liquid form has a flash point of greater than 93 degrees Celsius

according to its MSDS. If heated properly it becomes a combustible liquid. The results of

this hazard occurring would mean VOC could combine with a fire and aid it. Since the

TEST PURPOSE

PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to identify potential hazards associated with the

experimental protocol and hardware of the “Column Scents” experiment. This

experiment is being flown as part of the RGSFOP. This experiment was designed by the

students at East High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming as part of the High School Students

United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program

A "hazard" is defined as any condition that has the potential for harming personnel or

equipment. As the experiment is carried out in hyper and microgravity fields, it is

important to minimize potential risks to the hardware and personnel.

SCOPE

This hazard analysis covers the hazards of handling and operating the experiment during

ground and flight operations. In addition, this analysis covers the general procedure

associated with the experimental protocol.

The following inputs were used to complete the Hazard Analysis documented in section

15.0 of the report. As mentioned above the classifications are also documented in

Johnson Space Center Document, JSC-17773.

SYSTEM PURPOSE

The experiment is being flown as part of the High School Students United with NASA to

Create Hardware (HUNCH) program. The experiment will test the diffusion rate and

direction of a VOC in microgravity. The students will observe and record the readings

from Figaro VOC sensors.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The experiment is contained inside a box constructed from Lexan, which will be placed

inside a NASA Reduced Gravity Office Glove Box to provide the double containment

and eliminate the need for a stress analysis. The experiment relies on Figaro volatile

organic sensors attached to a sensor board that reads changes in voltage across the

sensors when volatile organic compounds are sensed. A base for the Lexan box that

contains the sensors is constructed so that the box can be positioned horizontally,

vertically and at a 45 degree angle. There will be a fan at the top of the box to eliminate

the scent after each parabola. Granulated charcoal will be used to help absorb the VOC

from the glove box. A Vernier LabQuest will be connected to the sensors and velcroed

outside the glove box to record data from each sensor in the box. The VOC will be

contained in sponge, contained in a sealed cavity away from the sensors at the bottom of

the box.

Consequence

Class Description

I Catastrophic A condition that may cause death or permanently disabling injury, facility destruction on

the ground, or loss of crew, major systems, or vehicle during the mission; schedule slippage causing

launch window to be missed; cost overrun greater than 50% of planned cost.

II Critical A condition that may cause severe injury or occupational illness, or major property damage to

facilities, systems, equipment, or flight hardware; schedule slippage causing launch date to be missed;

cost overrun between 15% and not exceeding 50% of planned cost.

III Moderate A condition that may cause minor injury or occupational illness, or minor property damage

to facilities, systems, equipment, or flight hardware; internal schedule slip that does not impact launch

date; cost overrun between 2% and not exceeding 15% of planned cost.

IV Negligible A condition that could cause the need for minor first-aid treatment but would not adversely

affect personal safety or health; damage to facilities, equipment, or flight hardware more than normal

wear and tear level; internal schedule slip that does not impact internal development milestones; cost

overrun less than 2% of planned cost.
