Abstract:
Each year the HawkHASP experiments
contributed by AVSC288 students at UMES are guided by the interests and
experience of the students. This year more advanced projects are in
development. The preceding payloads have utilized power from both LSU and an
internal source. We are now configuring the payload for remote command and
100% power from HASP. To achieve this goal our team has a plan focusing on
the development of a single experiment. Previously, the payload has relied
on independent data loggers. While inexpensive they require manual
activation during testing and launch and do not yield the detail needed for
accurate conclusions. The students will develop a flight-worthy data storage
unit. This device will require minimal communication relying on discrete
power up and down commands. With success this storage device will be used on
future CubeSat satellites designed by HawkHASP sponsor HISS. The solar cell
experiment provided by the
University
of North Florida will
test the spectral response of an Ultra-thin stimulator in an Indium Tin
Oxide-Si cell. The students of AVSC288 will also be conducting a thermal
experiment designed to calculate the atmospheric effect of at least two
thermally dissimilar materials measuring contraction and expansion of said
materials. This will hopefully have future applications for satellites.
