Project Summary

Project Information
|
The High Altitude Balloon Instrumentation Platform
(HABIP) is a multi-functional system that allows
users to collect and analyze data from near-space
experiments. The device records internal data, and
also telemeters data that has been gathered from an
array of sensors to a ground communications center.
The goal of this project is to create the
aforementioned array in a configuration that is
lightweight, cheap to manufacture, and highly
reliable. The final product will undergo a mission
lasting for several hours in harsh conditions, and
will parachute back to Earth from an altitude of
over 100,000 feet to be recovered and analyzed.
