To launch an recover a high altitude balloon with the aim of 80,000 ft, gathering data related to temperature, altitude, pressure, acceleration, angular velocity, pitch, roll, and imaginary, and to build upon the lessons learned from “Toast”.

Taking roughly 6 weeks, the design and creation of the cube satellite began with a debate on the type of frame, ultimately landing on a carousel design. With proper time and government resources contacted days prior to launch. However days prior of launch, errors were discovered within the newer internal circuitry. Despite these issues, the day of launch went smoother than before, with little minor issues.

The mission highlighted our capabilities to expand upon our foundational skills, showing that within a tight frame, TARS was able to already make several successful launches. Otherwise, it helped underline flaws within our current subteams, which were quickly addressed and handled.
