2. Mission Statement Jaevyn Faulk Collect Ultraviolet Radiation –Compare data we collect to past data on sun’s activity. –Study how solar activity has changed throughout an eleven-year sunspot cycle and how it has changed recently. –Using data from previous flights and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to find the change in activity of the sun.

3. Mission Overview Devon Connor Increasing UV radiation. Hypothesize that UV radiation levels will be higher than in past years. Determine if radiation is increasing or not. Harmful effects on communication and life on Earth. Solar flare cycle

4. Technical Overview Lucas Ibarra Sensors –Six light to frequency converters –UVB photodiode –Positioned on 5 sides of the Balloon SAT TW30SX UV Photo Diode SFE Light to Frequency Converter
