NM Project Lead the Way- Kevin Gall

Hot Springs High School - Stacy Coulter & Tyson Rush

Mayfield High School - Alonzo Wright

Onate High School - John Ross Tapia

Project Objective
All will measure atmospheric radiation & temperature, and will also measure acceleration of the rocket using an altimeter and pressure sensor. Each school built separate experiments, all data will be compared.

Analysis

The payload is loaded into a canister and then loaded onto the rocket. After launch, a G switch allows power to travel to the experiment. The payload will gather information about radiation, atmospheric pressure, and temperature. The results of this will be stored on flash memory, which will be extracted and analyzed upon recovery.
