Project X is a 2015-2016 [[Balloons]] team project targeted towards the creation, development, and refinement of sensor payloads for high-altitude balloons. The current focus of Project X is the collection of data regarding atmospheric quality and makeup.
The current team lead is Sruti Arulmani.

Project X has had success testing and incorporating the following sensors into HAB payloads (pictured at right):
*Carbon Dioxide Sensor (SainSmart MG-811)
*Ozone Sensor (SainSmart MQ-131)
*Methane Sensor (GikFun MQ-4)
*Carbon Monoxide Sensor (GikFun MQ-7)
*Hydrogen Sensor (GikFun MQ-8)
*Hazardous Gas Sensor (GikFun MQ-135)
Project X is also in possession of the following sensors, but has yet to test or incorporate them into HAB payloads:
*LPG and Butane Sensor (GikFun MQ-2)
*Alcohol and Ethanol Sensor (GikFun MQ-3)
*Methane Sensor for Mega2560 (GikFun MQ-5)
*Isobutane and Propane Sensor (GikFun MQ-6)
*Combustible Gas Sensor (GikFun MQ-9)
== SSI-28 ==
Project X launched a payload as part of the [[SSI-28]] launch.
