Project X
This balloons-related article is a stub. You can help SSI by expanding it.
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.
Sensors
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.
