(05-149 / 18 July 2005 / SH) Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium 'satellite' launch scheduled for Saturday GREEN BAY -Student engineers and scientists from four Wisconsin colleges and universities will launch a student-designed satellite that will carry its payload to the "edge" of space. Students from Milwaukee School of Engineering, Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and Ripon College will launch, track and retrieve a high-altitude balloon that will carry its payload 100,000 feet or higher. The launch is scheduled to take place at about 5:30 a.m. Saturday (July 16) at the athletic fields on the UW-Eau Claire campus. The western Wisconsin location was selected because the geography, roads and prevailing winds are favorable for tracking the payload and a dry-land "splashdown" up to 100 miles from the launch site. The satellite project is funded through a $100,000 grant the National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded to the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. The grant supports student-designed satellites and satellite payload projects. The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, based at UW-Green Bay, has 32 members including colleges and universities, private businesses, state agencies, educational organizations and other groups. Members of the launch team are Steven Belter (flight director), MSOE; Jennifer Bustamante, Marquette University; Katrina Faucett, UW-La Crosse; Ann Hartwig, MSOE; Dan Haeg, MSOE; and Brian Kaster, Marquette University. The science payload team includes Meary Barbeau, MSOE; Mark Cichon, MSOE; Daniel Croisant, MSOE; Matt Dictus, MSOE; Thomas Hanlon, Ripon College; and Eric Storvik, MSOE. The faculty adviser is Angela King of the MSOE Mechanical Engineering Department. Dr. R. Aileen Yingst, director of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, said the project is designed to give students practical experience in aerospace engineering and science. "We want to, as much as possible, re-create what it's like to do a space mission," she said. "And we want that experience to be something they designed themselves." The payload team will measure levels of mercury present at various altitudes in the atmosphere. The team also will test solar cell responsiveness at various altitudes and record detailed measurements to determine the altitudes, temperatures and pressures reached. The results of experiments will provide valuable data on the composition and nature of the upper atmosphere. Yingst said the students expect an exciting morning as they track the satellite and attempt to retrieve the payload after it lands. The launch will be re-scheduled for Saturday, July 23 if conditions are not calm and clear the morning of July 16. (News media are invited to cover the launch and tracking of the student-designed satellite. For more information, contact the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 920-465-2108.)

39 young scientists attended Space Experience camp at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY - Thirty-nine students in grades seven through 12 attended the first-ever Space Experience camp at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay from June 26 through July 1.

Space Experience campers conducted space science experiments, participated in space flight simulations, and worked with research scientists and aerospace professionals. A highlight of the camp was a visit by former NASA astronaut Mark C. Lee.

Campers also designed, built and tested their own space missions. Their projects included work with rockets, heat shields and recovery systems.

Attending the Space Experience camp (listed by hometown) were:

Baraboo - Michael Craney; Clarksville, Tenn. - James Graben; Clintonville - Lainee Hoffman, Colton Pugh; Custer - Jason Schulist; De Pere - William Anderson, James Durand, Jacob Johnson; Denmark - Kirsten Larson, Sarah Larson; East Troy - Kaitlyn Jaeck.

Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium 'satellite' launch scheduled for Saturday

GREEN BAY -Student engineers and scientists from four Wisconsin colleges and universities will launch a student-designed satellite that will carry its payload to the "edge" of space.

Students from Milwaukee School of Engineering, Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and Ripon College will launch, track and retrieve a high-altitude balloon that will carry its payload 100,000 feet or higher.

The launch is scheduled to take place at about 5:30 a.m. Saturday (July 16) at the athletic fields on the UW-Eau Claire campus. The western Wisconsin location was selected because the geography, roads and prevailing winds are favorable for tracking the payload and a dry-land "splashdown" up to 100 miles from the launch site.

The satellite project is funded through a $100,000 grant the National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded to the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. The grant supports student-designed satellites and satellite payload projects.

The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, based at UW-Green Bay, has 32 members including colleges and universities, private businesses, state agencies, educational organizations and other groups.

Members of the launch team are Steven Belter (flight director), MSOE; Jennifer Bustamante, Marquette University; Katrina Faucett, UW-La Crosse; Ann Hartwig, MSOE; Dan Haeg, MSOE; and Brian Kaster, Marquette University.

The science payload team includes Meary Barbeau, MSOE; Mark Cichon, MSOE; Daniel Croisant, MSOE; Matt Dictus, MSOE; Thomas Hanlon, Ripon College; and Eric Storvik, MSOE. The faculty adviser is Angela King of the MSOE Mechanical Engineering Department.

Dr. R. Aileen Yingst, director of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, said the project is designed to give students practical experience in aerospace engineering and science.

"We want to, as much as possible, re-create what it's like to do a space mission," she said. "And we want that experience to be something they designed themselves."

The payload team will measure levels of mercury present at various altitudes in the atmosphere. The team also will test solar cell responsiveness at various altitudes and record detailed measurements to determine the altitudes, temperatures and pressures reached. The results of experiments will provide valuable data on the composition and nature of the upper atmosphere.

Yingst said the students expect an exciting morning as they track the satellite and attempt to retrieve the payload after it lands.

The launch will be re-scheduled for Saturday, July 23 if conditions are not calm and clear the morning of July 16.

(News media are invited to cover the launch and tracking of the student-designed satellite. For more information, contact the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 920-465-2108.)
