In Spring 2008, the Senior Design Team at the University of Minnesota developed a comprehensive design for characterizing suborbital flights aimed at UP Aerospace. This project involved creating a system utilizing various sensors including temperature sensors, accelerometers, and pressure sensors, strategically placed on both the can's top cover and underneath plates. The design also integrated batteries, a microcontroller, and air flow sensors to measure outgoing and incoming flow. The aim was to gather crucial data for optimizing rocket performance and safety during suborbital missions.
