As I was working on my technical background information, I was sure how format the information that I found. I didn't want to be writing to much unnecessary information, but I wanted to make everything clear. I started off by writing...
This experiment is based upon measuring temperature and pressure at different altitudes. To meet these standards, there is a certain way his experiment has to flow in order to work. First, we will design our payloads by making drawings and asking experience people for ideas. As we design our payloads, we have to consider durability and reliability. We also have to consider all the things inside the payload to re insure that things don't go wrong. Because, if you look at Murphy's Law"Anything that can go wrong, will go Wrong". Our payloads our going to be traveling to 100,000 ft. in altitude. It is going to be measuring temperature and pressure, so in order for it to be capable of doing that, we have to make sure our BallooonSat has good solder joints, all software is programed right, we have to make sure the real time clock is keeping track of time, and enough power to operate through the flight. Our group also decided that we were going to use the 4 channel external HOBO to keep track of the temperature transitions..
...This is what my thoughts were so far, I'm now working on how to formulate of my thoughts into a nice, decent document for the technical background...P.S. please feel free to comment and give suggestions on my writing.
