Near Space

摘要

There are several data loggers that are capable of fitting inside a lunch bag. By carrying one of these on the mission, you can collect additional science and engineering data. Since the data loggers collect data at a fixed rate (you program this rate into the data logger), you can relate the recorded data to the altitude of the near spacecraft. Here are two commercially available data loggers to try: the HOBO and the Thermochron. I have used the Thermochron on several flights and purchased a HOBO for evaluation. I like my experiences with the Thermochron and am impressed with my HOBO and plan to use it on my next flight.
