Payload Description
The payload consisted of a custom made, modular duron box, as well as a small styrofoam box. The modular box was hexagonal and designed to be stacked vertically with other boxes of the same design. It held all of the electronics (internal/external temp sensors, pressure sensor, gps, RockBlock Iridium Satellite communications module, all controlled by an Arduino Mega) and was insulated by pink foam. The small styrofoam box held a very simple gimbal and a SPOT gps tracker.
Difficulties
The payload stopped recording barometer altitude and interior temperature within two minutes of liftoff. However, GPS and Iridium RockBlock data were still logged.
