Though the acronym "High Elevation Atmospheric Research Tool SATellite," is a mouthful, the project is quite elegant. The project is easily separated into three sections, as shown below:
The Flight Vehicle
The flight vehicle is the key to the HEARTSAT mission. It’s flight characteristics and design are the result of research this past summer at the University of New Hampshire, which I was involved in. This open-top design utilizes no parachute yet maintains a stable ascent and descent back to Earth. Experiment room is abundant, both inside insulated areas and exposed areas for a plethora of gas sensors, spectrometers, or almost anything imaginable.
Sensing Electronics
Tracking and Recovery System
Proven to work already.
