Mission Statement & Goals:Mission Statement & Goals:
Our mission is a combination of FieldSat and SolarSat
FieldSat To record on-board orientation and vibration during flight
SolarSatTo deploy a solar panel and measure the efficiency before and after impact

FieldSatContains an inertial measurement unit -- gyroscopes and
accelerometers.Microcontroller samples sensors at 100 Hz.Data are serialized and written to two memory cards.Analysis is done by a PC on the ground.

Design:Design:
SolarSatContains an two solar panels, servo, and light sensor.Solar panels will deploy 40 minutes in flight stay deployed
for entire duration.Sensors sample at 100 Hz.Data are serialized and written to two memory cards.Analysis is done with FieldSat on the ground.

Design:Design:
VideoSatThe design and concept were sound; failure occurred in the
hardwareTechnical support from the vendor and manufacturer was
insufficient to bring us to a operational statusConsidering approaching deadlines, the Video portion was
dropped

Results:Results:
HousingSolar panel fell off on impact
Retrieved data from one of the two SD cards
Solar panels still work
Heaters still function
Could go on another flight with minor repairs.

Results:Results:
FieldReceived data for 1:54:29 of the actual flight
Received Acceleration and angular rotation reading through most of the flight
Had an Accelerometer problem during flight
Created visualization of rotation from are data

Benefits to NASA:Benefits to NASA:
FieldSat To develop and integrate new attitude and orientation designs incorporating post-flight visualization
SolarSat To test the efficiency of the deployed solar panels
Assess damage to deployed solar panels after impact
13
Lessons Learned:Lessons Learned:
How to work as a team
Need better securing of piece of satellite
Redundancy is a good thing
That things that seem easy can end up hard
Good customer service goes a long way
