UAH Mission Background


Find out if there are any volcanoes on Venus



The payload shall be stationed on the weather balloon or the orbiter until the instrumentation observation is initiated.

5

Payload Design
Requirements
Our payload's name is S.U.M.M.I.T. (Spectrometric
Understanding of Vesuvius Material and Mapping
Infrared Telemetry of Volcanoes)





5Kg
44 cm x 24cm x 28cm (The size of the paper box)
Can't harm spacecraft.
Must survive environment until task is done.

6

Payload Destination


Will be searching for
“hot spots” on the planet. •

The environment is approximately 14.7 psi and has a distance of
15.9 km.



Average temperature is
737 K (464 C)



Atmosphere is 96.5%
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and 3.5% Nitrogen (N2)

7

Science Objective


Locate any possible active volcanoes on Venus and how they relate to the volcanoes on Earth.



This objective is important because it provides a further understanding of the Venusian environment. •

S.U.M.M.I.T. will be able to find temperature and pressure measurements of its surroundings.



We need to spot the thermally significant on
Venus.

Split into 2 groups to weigh the Orbiter vs the Balloon
Concept 2: Balloon

Concept 1: Orbiter
Final Probe Concept

11

Concept 1


This is on the Orbiter.



A computer chip contains attachments to other instruments, accelerometers.



Other instruments include: thermal/descent camera and thermocouple wire



The spectrometer will stay on the Orbiter



Aerogel insulation, titanium shell, and tantalum coating

12

Concept 2


This is on the Balloon.



Probes will be launched when the spacecraft says “go”



After hot spots are created probes will be launched to middle



The probes will be looking for volcanic activity in the hot spots
