Weather Balloon, Testing different sensors

We have made tons of progress since the last blog post. We attended the AIAA ASAT Space conference in which we gained lots of great insight and other CubeSat projects. In regards to the weather balloon, the payload is going to consist of a camera, gps tracking device, a BMP180 and a LSM303. The BMP180 is a barometer and thermometer while the LSM303 is a triple-axis accelerometer. These are basically small sensors that have to be connected to an arduino, raspberry pi, or some sort of micro controller. The sensors will be placed in a foam box due to the box's affordability and insulation. Overall, the progress has been slow and steady.
