I chose this accelerometer specifically for it’s ability to accurately measure up to 250g’s of force. It’s one of the key components to these experiments since I’m really curious how many g’s and what kind of speed my rocket booster will produce in the upper stratosphere without any atmosphere. The data logger will save these measurements so I can do the math to calculate just how much booster I’ll need to achieve the necessary speed for a low earth orbit.

I’m still researching what transmitter I can use that fits my package limitations and requirements which are fairly simple, broadcast my audio message. I’d like to be able to transmit data but I still haven’t found a solution for this distance. Any ideas?
