Abstract

In April 2025, we conducted three launches to measure radiation versus altitude and study the effect of a coronal mass ejection impacting earth during this period. Two baseline launches were scheduled during periods of low solar activity, and one launch took place on April 16th, shortly after a coronal mass ejection arrival. A GMC-500+ Geiger counter and a Radiacode 102 radiation sensor were included in the same orientation on all three launches. An iridium tracking unit and a Stratotrack APRS transmitter were used to collect lattitude, longitude, and altitude values, and the radiation sensor values were correlated with location and altitude via the real-time clocks on the devices. This poster will discuss our payload design, summarize the results from our three flights, and detail the lessons learned throughout this semester-long project.
