Abstract
The Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP) is a scientific initiative that aims to capture valuable data and images during eclipses. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, the project's payload is capable of capturing atmospheric levels of ultraviolet and visible light intensity during eclipses, providing valuable insights into the impact of these events on the atmosphere. The payload includes an array of sensors, such as an acceleration, angular velocity, magnetic field, absolute orientation, positioning, temperature, pressure, altitude, ambient light, and UV light sensors. Additionally, cameras equipped with no filter and an infrared filter will capture visual data during eclipses. The captured images will offer valuable insights into the physics of eclipses and help researchers better understand their impact on the atmosphere. To analyze the data collected during eclipse events, the NEBP project team plans to use the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) discipline, which will allow them to identify patterns and trends more efficiently and provide additional insights into the impact of eclipses on the planet's atmosphere. Finally, a micro SD card mount will be utilized for storing the collected data, enabling researchers to analyze the data at a later time. Overall, the NEBP project is an exciting scientific initiative that has the potential to provide a better understanding of the impact of eclipses on the planet's atmosphere. To ensure the successful capture and analysis of data during the upcoming eclipse events, the NEBP project team will conduct ground and flight testing. These testings will help the team refine and optimize the equipment and procedures for capturing and analyzing valuable insights into the impact of eclipses on the atmosphere.
