
Develop a BalloonSat that will take UV data
and correlate it with NCAR data.
 Used to see changes in UV radiation from last UV
cycle


Prove that there has been an increase in solar
activity causing an increase in UVA and UVB
radiation hitting Earth.
Hypothesize that an increase in solar activity
results in an increase in UVA and UVB
radiation.

UVA sensors will not be able to function
outside the box
Sensors will not function properly
Trouble communicating with NCAR contact
Programming will work properly


Our Satellite will be able to fly again after
impact
Our sensors will work properly
All systems will communicate and properly
connect to each other.
Data will show UV radiation has increased
