Rocket Payload Electronics
Description
As a member of BYU Spacecraft club, I worked closely with a BYU Rocketry team to design a payload for their rocket. As one of 5 members on the payload team, I contributed by setting up an altimeter and connecting it with other components in the system. A big accomplishment was sending a camera in our payload to record in-flight footage.
