I’ve been working on this for several years, driven by the goal of sending a small experiment towards the edge of space.</p> <p>This is a brief summary. Full documentation will live at <strong>projects.lukeharrisplatt.com</strong>.</p> <h2 id="approach">Approach</h2> <p>I researched sensor selection, data logging, power budgeting, and recovery strategies.</p> <p>I built and soldered a basic data logger using a <strong>Raspberry Pi Pico</strong> and sensors including an accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and temperature measurement, then prepared it for launch conditions (power, enclosure, and logging reliability).</p>
