Alex

Our experiment was in science, technology and teamwork a big success. We were able to show that the miniaturized sensors survive the rough rocket launch conditions and work properly in near vacuum.

All experiment requirements have been fulfilled!

  1. Sensors functioned well at high altitude
  2. Communication with ground station without problems, measurement data received during flight
  3. Hatch opened as planned
  4. Both pressure sensor survived and worked fine
  5. Data recovered from the two SD-cards
  6. YMIS papers in excellent condition
