3. Camera Payload Features
Aerodynamic design
Bearing system for image stabilization
Hack HD camera with 32 gig SD card
Dragon Plate carbon fiber
Aerogel installation
Plexiglass dome
Dual bearing system
Dome and carbon fiber tail
Bearing system

4. Goals To collect as many different types of data as possible
To capture a clear video during accent and decent
Achieve optimal stabilization of the camera
Bearing system
Aerodynamic shape to remain facing the into the wind
Optimal payload strength
Dragon Plate carbon fiber
Aluminum reinforcements
Spring door
Octagonal pyramid shape
Plexiglas dome secured with pin clips

5. Temperature Results

6. Pressure Results
Due to an electrical failure no camera image was available.

7. Other Sensor Results
We did not have sufficient time to analyze all of the data from the other sensors
They do appear to have worked and have sent data to the memory card

8. Payload Images

9. We Learned Carbon fiber boards are well insulated
Carbon fiber boards can endure high impact
A box-shaped payload has the most efficient volume in which to fit the Arduino micro processor and sensors
Take precautions to prevent static discharge on electronics
Use a grounded anti-static wrist strap at all times
Always have replacement parts for unexpected failures.
Electronics are particularly vulnerable

10. Next Launch Attempt to measure Ultraviolet and cosmic rays
Create a more lightweight and compact system
Plug and play system for all electronics
Gyroscope
Optimize camera stabilization
Solar power
Provide complete internal sustainability
Photovoltaic panels or paint
Measure change in power output
