The Space-Weather Ice Sensor Package (Space-WISP) project aims to design a packaging solution for an existing sensor suite and power system that will allow it to be securely deployed on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, survive harsh weather conditions, and collect data for the study of ice sheet dynamics and space weather. The project follows the ME Capstone Design Process Framework, and the information sources come from human sources, government agencies, research institutes, and prior experiments and products (benchmarking). The project's desired outcome can be categorized into 3 categories: a physical 'build design' of the magnetometer enclosure, analyses and validation with test plans, and parameterized design models. ...
