Alums payload soars to 37,000 feet on Aurora Spaceplane - Mustang News

▤ Summary

Dawn Aerospace flew a student-built payload on its Aurora Spaceplane during its first commercial U.S. student system flight. The project used an off-the-shelf data acquisition system and required software hardening so the hardware could survive extreme flight conditions. Dawn Aerospace and Cal Poly used the mission to validate sensor accuracy and compare commercial components against custom-built systems. The flight also showed Dawn Aerospace how to adapt its working style to different customer experience levels. The article highlights a practical software-and-hardware integration use case in aerospace operations.
