Payload 1 Design Process• Spacious while remaining light
• Include at least two different sensors
• Extra space for insulation
• Reduce unnecessary weight from the components
• Test all sensors
• Test pod and electronics at -50°C
Payload 1 Structure• A simple box shape with plenty of room
A large volume while remaining light Leaves plenty of room for insulation
Payload 1 Data Inputs• Temperature: One sensor on the inside
• Relative Humidity: one sensor on the outside
