Solo Spirit Science Data

Solo Spirit is flying the Aerobot Science Payload, a package of instruments on loan from the NASA/JPL Planetary Aerobot Program. The instruments measure position, altitude, temperature, pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, and sky radiance. A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver determines the location of the balloon.

Measurement	Most Recent Science Data	Data For Entire Mission
Temperature (°C) Outside air temperature.
Pressure (Pascals) Air pressure at the altitude of Solo Spirit.
Relative humidity (%) Water vapor content of the air outside Solo Spirit.
Sky radiance Upwelling radiance from surface and sky in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Vertical wind speed (meters/sec) Wind speed relative to Solo Spirit. Positive values mean wind is moving down relative to the balloon.
Altitude (meters) Altitude of Solo Spirit measured by the Aerobot GPS.

The Aerobot experiment is being conducted by a team of Washington University scientists and students sponsored by the NASA Missouri Space Grant Consortium.
