====== Apex Alpha ======

===== A small, light-weight payload which will be the predecessor to Apex III =====
{{:projects:apexalpha_logo_navyblue.png?200 |}}
The payload is to be based around the AVR micro-controllers with the Arduino bootloader. With a completely redesigned payload, we hope that Apex Alpha will be able to help us break records and move the project forward towards Apex III.

Apex Alpha: Launch 1 - Launched from Churchill College, Cambridge on 22 Oct 2011.
