ASGARD

ASGARD 2025

This year we hope to launch an experiment on ASGARD to measure how anthropogenic gases propagate through the earth's atmosphere (namely CFCs and SF6), hoping to see how future human activity on Mars may affect the planet's atmosphere. We also hope to collaborate with another team from Belgium, who have a payload that will send live telemetry data down during the flight, and send down real-time CO2 and Altitude data.

ASGARD 2023

ASGARD is an international project located in Brussels which allows students to send experiments on a high altitude weather balloon to investigate the conditions of the upper atmosphere. The team this year attempted to investigate how ozone concentration effects the levels of radiation in the upper atmosphere. Unfortunately this project ended in failure when the experiment fell off of the balloon upon its landing in the Rhein river in Germany. Despite this the team have rebuilt the project in preparation for a launch with St Paul's school in London in November 2023. 

Alongside the past mission Space QuEST also has a new group of inspired year 12's who plan to apply for the ASGARD project next year where they aim to experiment the spectroscopy of stars. We hope for them to be successful in this and finally return from an ASGARD mission in triumph.
