Project Minerva is a project focused on education in engineering processes targeted towards undergraduates. Project Minerva will accomplish the goal of educating students at Embry-Riddle through completing the entire engineering design cycle so that students gain experience in every part of an engineering project. Project Minerva will produce a weather balloon with a payload resembling a 2U CubeSat which will measure atmospheric properties as altitude increases. The main property being measured is the amount of ultraviolet (UV) rays that are present in the atmosphere, which will then be used to calculate the amount of ozone present in the atmosphere. The payload will also feature a student-designed solar panel as its main source of power generation
