Payload Proposal Form Title/Name of your Payload Concept: STEM Academy Flight Data Recorder Team Leader (Name/School/Phone/e-mail): Jeff Dunker / STEM Academy / 303 -269 -7413 / Jeffrey. v. dunker@ulalaunch. com Payload Concept Description: The plan is for beginning students build a data logger of their own design with students from prior year’s assisting them. The payload package will be similar to past years sensor wise, using Barometers, accelerometers, etc. , and student design sensors. Team Description: The team will be made of 4 to 8 students, 6 grade and older from the Highlands Range Location Sell Your Project/Team Here: The STEM Academy team has demonstrated that they were able to build functioning payloads for the last two years. Last year they flew four successful data logger packages in one G class payload module. One collected Digital Accelerometer, Gyro, and Barometer data with EEPROM data storage. The other used an analog accelerometer and SD card data storage. Another collected GPS data to a SD card, the last collected the first successful middle school FUTURE video footage in color and with sound which showed the entire flight profile. For the beginning student this year the plan is to build another data logger of their own design with students from prior year’s assisting them. The payload package will be similar to past years sensor wise, using Barometers, accelerometers, etc. , and student design sensors. The team is entertaining making a RF locator beacon to assist in the recovery. The design will use various testing methods up to and possibility including a full scale payload package flights on smaller rocket. This will also give some great opportunities to teach the students about various aspects of rocket flight. If your payload is Not selected for a firm launch slot, will you build a payload for a backup slot : Yes
