I began working on the Community College of Denver’s (CCD) balloon satellite project in the Fall of 2011. It was the first time that a student team from CCD would participate in one of the Colorado Space Grant Consortium’s (COSGC) main events: launching experiments on a high-altitude balloon satellite. Each participating school was given a budget of money and mass to build payloads that would be carried up to 100,000 feet into the atmosphere by a helium-latex balloon. Our first attempt was rushed, but we learned what to focus on in future experiments. Our next payload in the Spring of 2012 was a success; we collected viable scientific data, all of which would be useful in the next semest
