The Space Minor Challenge is a STEM based project designed to engage students in the building of a flight computer. The project orginated from Colorado Space Grant Consortium which students build and code an actual flight computer.  The flight computer is controlled by an Arduino Elego UNOR3.  An additional proprietary PCB (Printed Circuity Board) from COSGC served as a hat on top of the Arudiuno.  Soldered to the PCB were the following:

• Temperature Sensor (2x)

• Humidity Sensor

• Pressure Sensor

• Accellerometer

• Open Log SD Card Reader

• LEDs

Each vendor specific sensor required interpreted code to read and integrate into flight computer.  A 3-d printed case was designed to house the unit in preparation for its High Altitude Balloon (HAB) mission to test the flight computer’s overall efficacy in flight.

• Raider IV to house student-built flight computers (Space Minor Challenge) 

• Mission will include all new flight components:

- Flight Computers

- Cameras

- Tracking Device

- Etc.

• New Databot onboard to provide a full range of additional capabilities
