Secondary Mission 

After winning the National Final, we decided that we needed to add to our secondary mission. The issue of space debris fascinated us and we spent a lot of time researching how we could replicate satellites breaking up in space. We decided that it wouldn't be feasible and turned to other areas. 

Our secondary mission includes the following:

• GPS: To find the can after launch and also to help with profiling our data
• Humidity sensor: useful in a space mission to find water, useful especially when combined with temperature and pressure in analysis of weather
• Radiation sensor: to compare radiation levels at different altitudes
• Magnetometer: to examine variations in the magnetic field strength with altitude
• Ultrasonic sensor: for measuring the parachute activities over the duration of the flight

We now have to finish the coding and place them in the can.
