| Environment 2.0
Glenbrook North High School Northbrook, Illinois |
This active experiment is a continuation of one flown in 2001 which collected data about the environmental conditions inside the Sub-SEM module. Data included acceleration, temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. The difference between these experiments is that this one will additionally have new sensors, confirm, and build on prior data. It will also act as a testbed for a prototype sensor system that can be used as an instrument package on other NSIP experiments. |

SOIDAR: Sub-Orbital Instrument Detecting Atmospheric Radio East Brunswick High School
|
A multi-band radio receiver with external antenna will be used
to monitor radio signals from local and short-wave stations over the sub-orbital flight path. Signals will be converted to an
audio signal and recorded on tape, with analysis of ground waves, sky waves, space waves, and tropospheric waves. |

An Investigation into Radiation Absorption by Compounds with |
We hypothesize that compounds composed of atoms with small
atomic radii and low atomic weight will be stable enough to shield harmful space radiation. After determining
experimental compounds, we plan to use Geiger tubes surrounded by thin strips of the compounds to test the relative shielding capabilities. |

SOLAR: Sub-Orbital Light Analysis Research Experiment Susan Wagner High School
|
A filter wheel and/or spectroscope is used to capture images at different wave lengths over a sounding rocket flight to 50+ kilometers. Images are recorded by a digital camera at approximately two per second. Results are compared to ground control images to examine how the spectrum changes with altitude. |
