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)

*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)
