| The vehicle is ten feet in length and has a six inch payload section transitioning to a four inch booster section. It will fly on an Animal Motor Works L1080BB to an altitude of 5900 feet. We will use a modified dual-deployment system to safely recover the vehicle and payload. | Direct and reflected sunlight intensity varies based on atmospheric content and ground coverage and reflectivity. By measuring the intensity of sunlight and atmospheric factors, correlations can be found between these factors. Our payload consist of two spherical sensor packages (Argus 1 and Argus 2), each containing sensors for measuring sunlight intensity, temperature, GPS location, altitude, and humidity. |
