The document summarizes the roles and responsibilities of different teams involved in a balloon payload project to collect sensor readings and photos from 100,000 feet in the air. The flight team constructed the payload container and installed sensors, GPS, and a camera. The PR and marketing team wrote articles and took photos of the project progress. The avionics team programmed the GPS and sensors. The camera team programmed the camera for time-lapse photos. The recovery team will retrieve the payload after landing. The launch was successful with all systems functioning as planned.

2. The Mission
Our task over the last 5/6 months has been to
construct the balloon and program the
payload to go approximately 100,000 ft into
the air. We have outfitted the payload with
humidity and temperature sensors, as well as
GPS and a camera. Our aim is to reach the
aforementioned height and to take pictures
and humidity/temperature readings and then
to track and retrieve the information for the
balloon after it has landed.

3. Flight Team
Over the course of the project
the flight team have been
constructing the payload to hold
all of our custom built tech
including the humidity sensors,
GPS, they also have secured the
parachute, the balloon and the
tracking antenna.

4. PR and Marketing
The PR and Marketing have been
involved in writing blogs and articles
for the Weydonian and taking pictures
of the progress of the project. They do
not have any sponsors for the project
yet but hopefully by WASP-2 we will
have sponsors.

5. Avionics
Avionics have been given the task of
programming the GPS so that we can find
our box after the payload lands and so we
can track it whilst it is in the air. They also
had to program the arduino to allow us to
receive the readings of humidity and
temperature externally and internally of the
box . They have also been working with the
camera team to programme the camera so that it
will go onto time-lapse and take pictures the time
that it is flying.

6. Camera
The camera team have been working
with the avionics team to programme
the camera to go on time- lapse. Also,
they needed to work with
Dr Al-Azzawi to make a suitable shape
in the box for the camera to fit and so
that it stays safe for when it lands if it
hits the ground quickly.

7. Recovery
The recovery team’s main purpose is
the for when the Payload lands.
They will recover the box and if
there are any damages done to the
box they will make sure that none
of the readings are affected. Also,
they will detach the parachute
from the payload.

8. Launch
The Launch went very well. The balloon
and the payload flew away perfectly
and the launch could not have done
any better. The payload takes readings
of the humidity and temperature
internally and externally and will give
us stunning pictures of the earth and
we will be able track it through our
programmed GPS system.
