The project I am doing this semester requires planning and preparation. Next week we will be ordering all of our sensors for this project, which means that this weekend the group has to figure out what we want to observe as our payload enters near space. Keeping in mind that we have certain voltage and power usage constraints to our system. Up to this point we have been learning a lot about the engineering design process. Today we learned about powering our system. Discussing how resistors and voltage regulators will be crucial to our payload design.
Monday our group will be sitting down and deciding what sensors our payload will use. We have a few limitations, but I think that this part of the process should go smoothly.
Last week we began designing payload enclosures. To test them we filled them with 1kg weights and threw them off of our balcony. Enjoy!
