RRADS (Radio Repeater and Atmospheric Data Suite)
Source: IAAS.org
The RRADS project involves designing, fabricating, and testing a specialized payload to collect atmospheric data while simultaneously functioning as a ham radio repeater. The unit is designed for deployment via high-altitude balloons or rockets to gather scientific measurements from the stratosphere.
