PicoAtlas II
Aim
To actually see if it is possible to super-pressure mylar/foil balloons - this requires more balloons (of the same size) and a lighter payload. Launching would need a quicker ascent rate and an earlier launch time to make use of the solar heating.
Payload
- Seeeduino film
- GPSbee
- Mini GPS antenna
- Radiometrix NTX2
- Wire 1/4 wave + radials
- 1000mAh LiPo battery
- Some insulation
- Aiming for 75g total mass.
Jobs
- purchase 4x 91cm balloons
- swap arduino pro for seeeduino
- rebuild 1/4 wave with lighter radials
- order 1000mAh LiPo
- power saving code
