Near Space: Part 2

摘要

Last month, we covered how hobbyists are getting around the high costs associated with spacecraft construction and launches. You learned a little about the structure of our atmosphere, the location of near space, and the conditions found there. Last month's article closed with a brief introduction to the near spacecraft. In that introduction, the parts of the stack were explained, along with their functions. This month's article discusses some of the benefits gained through beginning your own program and explains how you can build an inexpensive near spacecraft and use it in an amateur science project. Talk about an awesome science fair project!
