MaxIQ High Altitude Balloon Ride Share

High Altitude Balloon Ride Share (Feb - May 2023)

Project Description: 

The Maine Space Grant Consortium and MaxIQ Space are collaborating on a High Altitude Balloon Mission in March 2023.  The mission aims to test suborbital payload before a rocket launch.  We have a space reserved on this ride share with 11 other groups (HAB 2022 Payload Manifest).  The launch provider will provide a GPS location for the flight.  After the mission, the payload will be returned to us for data retrieval and analysis.  You can find out more information about a high-altitude balloon (HAB) flight.  The payload ship date was Tuesday, March 14, 2023

Presentation of Results: 

This project's results were presented at the 2022 MURSD Computer Science Showcase in May 2022.  The poster is below.
