SSI-30 was the 30th launch of the SSI Balloons team and the second launch for the experimental payloads of [[Project UV]], [[Project SOL]], and [[Project X]]. It flew _ kilometers over a course of _ hours, reaching an altitude of _23 Kilometers before landing. It was a complete success, querying ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B concentrations in correlation with altitude, and the concentrations of specific gasses at different altitudes, this time with amplified analog values, and implementing dynamic solar tracking and current data logging, in addition to powering heaters and capturing visuals with a camera.

SSI-28 was part of a combined experimental balloon launch with [[Project UV]], [[Project SOL]], and [[Project X]] designed to provide preliminary data for these research projects.
== Payload Specifications ==
[[File:SSI_30_00.jpg | right | thumb| <center> The Teensy electronics </center>]]
This payload utilized a Teensy3.2, operational amplifiers, a DC motor, and an H bridge. The teensy measured time, altitude, UV(A) & UV(B) in watts/cm^2, solar luminosity and generated current and voltage, and gas concentrations of Hydrogen, Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, and particulate matter. It was also capable of self regulating its temperature, and writing data to an SD card.
