Abstract:
Thermal Energy Control and Particle Air Filter System (TECPAFS) will focus on air particle collection of the aerosol mass and size distribution over different altitudes of the HASP flight. Quantifying organic concentrations of persistent organic compounds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. This way determining the influence of meteorological parameters, such as wind speed, temperature and relative humidity, on the variations of aerosol shape and size distributions and persistent organic pollutants (POP levels). Thermal Phase Change Material Composites will integrate in the payload as another experiment for thermal radiation control, taking advantage of HASP high altitud, low density and low temperature conditions. The results of the thermal data collection and storage should determine the viability of the thermal phase change material and also validate this system for a future CubeSat launch integration. This proyect is supported by the IAUPR, NASA Puerto Rico Space Grant and the government of Puerto Rico(PRIDCO) to train aerospace workforce for the island.
