Abstract:
The Hawk Institute for Space Sciences and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore are sponsoring a course in Spring 2008 called Gateway to Space. This course will include lab content to design, build and document the HawkHASP Small Payload. After the course, HISS and UMES will sponsor students to continue integration, test, flight and flight analysis. HawkHASP will include a variety of experiments 1a) Comparing a space-rated solar cell and a terrestrial solar cell. 1b) Cells or photodiodes on each side for HASP orientation. 2) Digital camera for orientation, altitude, ground track, and algorithms applicable to processing photos taken from low earth orbit. 3) Triaxial accelerometer for recording flight events, and may be useful in further understanding the responses of Small Payloads on the HASP structure. 4) RF payload on amateur radio band. Inclusion of this payload requires volume exceedance. If not granted, then this payload will likely be removed. Coordination with LSU needed. 5a) External temperature sensor for comparison with Standard Atmosphere. 5b) Internal temperature sensor(s) for health monitoring and evaluation of insulation.
