Description

Randy will need a volume for our payload by tomorrow night.

Knowledge

  1. Main bulk is the RPi stack: power pack, RPi, GPS receiver, Qwiic sensor HAT. (center)
  2. The RockBLOCK is bulky but it has to be on top, with a view at the sky. (to the left of RPi)
  3. The GPS antenna also has to be on top, with a view of the sky. (to the right of the RPi)
  4. The camera has to be at right angles on the side, to have a view of the horizon and the boundary of Earth/sky. (leftmost)
  5. The Qwiic sensors will be daisy-chained and not necessarily in a stack. (rightmost)
