TopicNotes

Payload Discussion

  • Solar Sail
  • Recovery Payload
  • Video
  • Something that would help a 30K or other subteam
  • Solar Panel Voltage Measurements
  • Cloud Chamber and measure muons
  • Measure permittivity of air at different altitudes

Not doing solar sails because of previous decisions to not work with SPEX and rocket not going to space

Recovery: Something like a smoke grenade to make rocket more visible on descent and recovery

  • Different colors at different altitudes (drogue, main, ground)
  • Good for testing with custom flight computer with no added risk
