Balloon Satellite Technology and Payload Design

Project Abstract

This project involves launching a payload containing multiple instruments for data collection at high altitudes (100,000 feet). The main payload consists of a 3D printed model that was designed specifically for the project. Inside it includes GoPro cameras for video recording along with a datalogger for altitude, speed, pressure and humidity. Another device included in the payload is a Geiger counter for radiation detection. The project will include trackers for payload recovery. This will all be attached to a high altitude balloon and a parachute. The goal is to format all of the data into an easy to view presentation with the hopes of encouraging others to follow with their own launch.
