Weather Balloon Launch

The Beckman Engineering club is planning on building and launching a weather balloon. I recommended the adviser to possibly use a CubeSat as a payload and he says that it is possible. Having a CubeSat as the payload for the weather balloon will be a major step and a huge accomplishment for both me and the club. However, there much planning and preparation and so little time because the launch will start in roughly 2 months. Having a 3d printed chassis has helped the club greatly because it allowed me to experiment different instruments that is within the specifications in terms of size.
