Abstract:
The Cajun Probe I team seeks to build a
compact payload with various sensors and detectors that in the near future
will be implemented into a probe. The payload will include sensors such as
temperature, humidity, pressure, a accelerometer, an altimeter, a GPS
device, and other detectors such as a Geiger Counter. HASP provides an
excellent platform to test the payload and gain benchmark data that will be
used in the future for comparison. The objective of Cajun Probe I is to
design and build a probe(s) to be ejected from a Rocket that is traveling
over a hurricane. This project will provide a way to better understand
Hurricanes and predict their nature and path in hopes to better inform the
area affected.
